The story of “The Nutcracker Princess” follows Marie on Christmas Eve after she has been given a nutcracker princess doll by her godfather.
Marie’s new doll comes to life and springs into action, defeating the Spider Queen and taking Marie to meet the Sugar Plum Fairy, the queen of the Land of Sweets.
McRae said for this production, she has taken inspiration from “the original Marius Petipa choreography,” as well as the original story by E.T.A Hoffman.
