Where to See the Nutcracker in Memphis - Updated for 2019

Are you searching for Where to See the Nutcracker in Memphis?

The Nutcracker leads the toy soldiers into battle with the mice, and Marie helps him by throwing her slipper at the fierce Mouse King, who the Nutcracker then slays. Now that the Mouse King is dead, an ancient spell has been broken, and the Nutcracker is transformed into a handsome prince.

True Story: In December 2017, my kiddo was 6 and had been taking ballet for years. I wanted to go to the Orpheum to see it with her just us 2 girls. We had tickets for a Friday night. She went to school totally fine, and came home and took a turn for the worst. She got the bug!
I was really bummed but just let it go.
I’m pretty sure she slept the whole evening and I had a glass of wine in my PJ pants on the couch = heaven!
We’ll probably squeeze it in this season though! And maybe drag the 4-year-old along!
