Pierrot Productions is excited to finally be able to present this passionate play written by Moises Kaufman, touching on one of classical music’s enduring riddles as to why Beethoven wrote 33 variations of a rather uninspired waltz. Two hundred years later, a modern-day music scholar is driven to solve the mystery even as her own health and relationship with her daughter crumbles.  The show simultaneously explores the composer’s creations and the struggle of the musicologist, enhanced by a live pianist playing the variations.

Young Clara sneaks downstairs on Christmas Eve to play with her favorite present – a Nutcracker – when she is suddenly confronted by the menacing Mouse King!  Her Nutcracker prince comes alive, saves her and whisks her away to the Land of The Sweets where Snow Queen & King, snow fairies, dancing sugar plums and toy soldiers all await her.  The NJ Dance Connection presents this classic ballet, set to Tchaikovsky’s magical score – abridged and fully narrated!  Family and friends of all ages can celebrate the holiday season together at this delightful performance.
