Flux Vertical Theatre invites you to unwrap a decadent holiday indulgence:

The Nutcracker Nightmare Fantasy

a thrilling and sensual reimagining of the beloved ballet.

Follow Clara as she tumbles down a dreamscape into another reality where black licorice shimmers, toy soldiers smolder, and Hershey's aren't the only things giving kisses.

This Nutcracker seamlessly blends pole, dance, aerial arts, and burlesque in a dazzling feast for the senses. Prepare for an evening of sweet debauchery, daring artistry, and delicious fantasy. It’s The Nutcracker you think you know, until the lights go low and the champagne starts to flow.

Nutcracker Nightmare Fantasy is a provocative holiday experience you won’t want to miss. It’s got elements of circus and burlesque, and it’s more kinky than wholesome, debaucherous than innocent, and insanely fun to boot.
-Kellie Hanna, Broke Ass Stuart
