The holidays are about so much more than presents. The holidays are about spending time with loved ones and creating traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. Create a new tradition this holiday season by going to The Nutcracker. The New Jersey Performing Arts Center is hosting two different performances, and each one has something to offer people of all ages. Stop by and see The Hip Hop Nutcracker featuring Kurtis Blow on Dec. 15 or the traditional version of the ballet on Dec. 16.
The Hip Hop Nutcracker Featuring Kurtis Blow
If you like the idea of attending the Nutcracker but you don’t want to see a traditional ballet, this is the option for you.
