The MeshugaNutcracker! blends Tchaikovsky's unforgettably beautiful holiday score with witty lyrics and traditional Jewish songs to create a musical treat that's perfect for the holiday season. In this two-night-only concert version of the show, eight award-winning performers sing in eight-part harmony and tell charming stories that celebrate all that is Chanukah. You won't want to miss this evening out that the Los Angeles Times calls "a lovingly loopy musical that creates a treat for the whole family ... an enchanting festival of lighthearted glee and meaningful warmth."

I highly recommend this show for the whole family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc.

The MeshugaNutcracker" offers a delightful night of musical theater, with a different spin to Tchaikovsky’s music and Chanukah. The show has an amazing cast of characters who will make you laugh and think about life’s many blessings. It is fast paced, bright, creative, colorful, zany, gleeful, meaningful, engaging, and fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed this! The cast was very talented & the mix of silliness & seriousness held our attention throughout. I highly recommend this.

Loved it!
Hilarious and touching, with great costumes (oh, the challah hat!), original songs, choreography and fun working in of the Tchaikovsky score (some, not all, of course).
A new holiday tradition for my family.
Only regret - friends in other cities can't share it with us - more venues next year?
PS the latkes and jelly donuts were a treat, too!
