Graham Lustig's "A Jazzy Nutcracker"

"A Jazzy Nutcracker" is Lustig Dance Theatre's new take on the beloved classic, performed with a six-piece jazz band and guest appearances from high school marching bands. Choreographer Graham Lustig talks with producer Susan Wallner about growing up in London in the 1960s and how it inspired his production, with the Nutcracker re-imagined as the Boy Next Door. LDT performs December 6 at SOPAC and December 12 & 13 at Monroe Performing Arts Center.
