The sweetest of all Matthew Bourne’s treats comes to cinemas for the first time. Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, this “witty, wonderful, rip-roaring spectacular” (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) is a Nutcracker! for all seasons and “the sweet treat we all deserve.” (★★★★★ Evening Standard).

With family-sized helpings of Bourne’s trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy, Nutcracker! follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from a darkly comic Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland, influenced by the lavish Hollywood musicals of the 1930s.

Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and Anthony Ward’s delectable sets and costumes combine with Bourne’s dazzling choreography to create a fresh and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the classic production.

Watch the video to hear Matthew Bourne’s take on his sweetest creation.
