1. Slay your holiday shopping by getting Nutcracker tickets early! Pick your favorite seats then sit back and relax until December. Tickets start at just $26 for some performances!

2. Arrive early! The show starts right on time. You don’t want to miss one moment of the magic...and you know how Providence traffic and parking can be!

3. Upgrade for an unforgettable experience. Add our VIP Meet the Stars to your tickets and meet the dancers right after they get off stage!

4. Dress up! We love to see our audience in the spirit. You should sparkle just as much as the dancers on stage. Plus, there are so many great photo ops (for that holiday card you always forget to send).

5. Get a treat because you deserve it! Whether you want a yummy cookie from concessions or a souvenir nutcracker, a treat can be whatever your heart desires!
