Take the melodious music from Tchaikovsky’s classic The Nutcracker Ballet, mix in eight poignant and witty stories celebrating the miracle of Chanukah and what you get is The MeshugaNutcracker!.
The libretto tells the tale of eight Chelmniks (citizens of Chelm, the fictional town of fools) who gather once a year to perform their Chanukah festival. Through the course of the two-act musical they revel in traditional Jewish songs and honor the triumphs of Chanukah heroes, all in their delightfully foolish Chelm style. Add spinning dreidels and twirling chanukiot and you’ll have visions of sufganiyot dancing in your head.
Latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiot (jelly doughnuts) will be available before the show and during intermission.
