American Repertory Ballet present "The Nutcracker"

Sunday, December 21, 2025 @ 5:00pm



State Theatre New Jersey
15 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Celebrate American Repertory Ballet's annual Nutcracker tradition with your family! The only ARB performances featuring a live orchestra and choir! 

Bring the entire family to experience the joy and celebration of this holiday tradition and make memories to last a lifetime—featuring thrilling choreography, Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, a cast of more than 100 dancers, and ARB’s only area performances with a live orchestra and choir!

This holiday favorite tells the magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they battle larger-than-life mice alongside toy soldiers, and travel through a whirlwind of dancing snowflakes to the Land of Sweets. A tradition for 60 years, ARB’s The Nutcracker is one of the longest continuously running Nutcracker productions in the nation.
