The Nutcracker at Brookfield Place

The New York Theatre Ballet performs four one-hour versions of the beloved holiday classic, set to Tchaikovsky’s score. The 1907 Art Nouveau-style design lends a charm to the show that transforms viewers to a different time and place, with all the holiday magic families will revel in. The free performances take place in Brookfield Place’s Winter Garden. Seats are doled out on a first come, first served basis—so be sure to arrive early to secure your spot.
