WHO'S BACK AND WHO'S NEW THIS SEASON

In addition to beautiful, flowing dance pieces and amazing a cappella vocal music by the group SoVoSó, Mixed Nutz! features a cast of world-class performing artists—some of whom are making their Mixed Nutz! debut this holiday.

 

Chinese footbalancer and acrobat Wang Hong returns to wow audiences with her grace and skill… hand-to-hand balancing is new this year with a remarkable act by Jennings McCown and Chinese acrobat Xiao Hong WengKerri Kresinski joins the show for two weekends with her stunning aerial silk performance, and aerial hoop artist Sylphie Currin is back to dazzle us from great heights… circus artists Iman Lizarazu, Saki, and Jan Damm were audience favorites last season, and they are joined by newcomer Jasper Patterson of the New Eccentrics. We also welcome back Mexican folklorico dancers from Watsonville’s Corazon en Flor and UCSC’s Los Mejicas, plus hip-hoppers, local gymnasts, and dancers from the UCSC Theater Arts Department.

 

ABOUT THE SHOW

Mixed Nutz! playfully maintains the true spirit and basic story of the traditional Nutcracker: festively dressed party-goers enter for an evening of holiday merriment, young Clara receives a toy nutcracker as a special gift, and magic starts to unfold… with entertaining side trips in Candyland, a visit by the Sugar Plum Fairy, a Waltz of the Flowers, and much more.

 

Mixed Nutz! is a co-production of Tandy Beal & Company and the UCSC Theater Arts Department.
