"'The Nutcracker,' something of a bad seed in its homeland - a ballet thought to be in constant need of a makeover...the recipient of many head shakes and clucking noises over its flawed nature - was about to be adopted and make good somewhere else." -Jennifer Fisher, "Nutcracker Nation" (2003)

What production inspired this trend? This holiday video essay by Zach Barr (they/them) investigates George Balanchine's role in the ballet phenomenon, and the continued impact of his 1954 staging of THE NUTCRACKER.
