Robert Joffrey’s production, based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s early 19th century German tale, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," has been a Chicago holiday favorite since its first performance here in 1996. Combining classical elegance with explosive action, the Joffrey production rolls out favorite characters like Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the warring Mice led by the Mouse King.
