Grand Rapids Ballet “The Nutcracker”
DeVos Hall, Grand Rapids
December 12-14 & 19-21

This  holiday tradition will be a completely re-imagined production featuring all-new sets and costumes designed by award-winning designer Chris Van Allsburg (Polar Express, Jumanji) and Eugene Lee (Wicked, Sweeney Todd),  with choreography by international choreographer Val Caniparoli, this new production will encompass the beauty and magic
of the beloved Nutcracker story. more about the production

For APA, this production is even more special, as our own Emily Ratkos will be dancing!
She is in three dances, including the Harlequin. She will dance the Harlequin on the first weekend (12th-14th). She will dance as a Mouse on the second weekend (wearing a mouse head!). 

If you are interested in going
APA has confirmed that with a group order, individuals can get the dates of their choice at the reduced rate. There is enough interest to get the 30% reduction in price. If you are interested, please email Kathy to let her know exactly how many tickets you need; whether you need Orchestra or Mezzanine ($35) or Mezzanine ($28), and what date you want to attend. There will likely be a group service fee, but it will be minimal and split between tickets.

If we can get 24+ people, tickets will be 30% off! We can also mix ticket levels,
so if 12 want Orchestra, and 12 want Mezzanine, they will do that for us!
Thanks for getting back to me with your interest asap!
