THE NUTCRACKER: Sweet & Jazzy
THE NUTCRACKER: Sweet & Jazzy THE NUTCRACKER It is Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum house -- A large and grand house with the most beautiful tree imaginable. The Stahlbaums are hosting their annual Christmas party, welcoming the arrival of their family and friends. The children, Clara and Fritz, are dancing and playing as they welcome their friends too.
The party grows festive with music and dance as godfather Drosselmeyer arrives. He is a skilled clock and toy maker and always full of surprises. Drosselmeyer draws everyone's attention as he presents a life-size ballerina doll, tap dancing toy soldier dolls and a group of harlequin dolls. They are the delight of the party, each taking a turn to dance.
The children begin to open gifts when Drosselmeyer presents Clara a beautiful Nutcracker that becomes the hit of the party. Fritz becomes jealous and, having a bit more spunk than a boy should have, grabs the nutcracker from Clara and promptly breaks it. Clara is heartbroken but Drosselmeyer magically repairs the Nutcracker in seconds.
As the evening grows late, the guests depart and the Stahlbaum family retires for the evening. Clara, remembers her beloved Nutcracker she left at the party, sneaks back to the tree to check on him, falling asleep with him in her arms.
The Fight Scene As the clock strikes midnight strange things begin to happen, mice begin to scurry around the home. Clara begins shrinking as her beautiful Christmas tree grows high above her. The toys around the tree come to life while the room fills with an army of mice, led by the fierce Mouse King. As the Nutcracker awakens, he leads his army of toy soldiers into hip hop dance battle with the mice. The Mouse King corners the Nutcracker and battles him one-on-one. Clara makes a daring charge throwing her slipper at the Mouse King, hitting him square on the head. The Mouse King drops to the floor and the mice run away, carrying off their leader's lifeless body.
The Land of Snow The Nutcracker turns into a Prince and takes Clara on a journey to the Land of Snow, an enchanted forest wonderland where they are welcomed by dancing snowflakes.
The Land of Sweets The Prince escorts Clara to the Land of Sweets where they are greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy. The Prince tells her about their daring battle with the army of mice and she rewards them with a celebration of dances. The Spanish Dance, The Arabian Dance, The Russian Dance, The Chinese Dance, The Mirliton Dance, Mother Ginger and her Children, The Waltz of Flowers, the Sugar Plum Fairy dances a final dance. As all the subjects of the Land of the Sweets waive goodbye to Clara she wonders if it was all just a wonderful dream.
