If your childhood Christmas festivities always included a trip to the theater to see a traditional production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet and you were always obsessed with the magical world of toy soldiers (!) then this may perfect for the grown up you. Trust us in Company XIV’s very sexy ‘toy soldiers’ are very ‘grown up’ too.
NUTCRACKER ROUGE is a sparkling reimagining of the beloved Nutcracker tale told with erotic, sensual and opulent flair.
