Description:
Little Leapers and LEAP Performing Arts Academy presents "The Nutcracker" presented by on Friday, December 15, 2023 at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.

Little Leapers & LEAP Performing Arts Academy Nutcracker is by far the most unique and spectacular production in the New River Valley. From our unique approach to the narrative, and intricate costuming to elaborate set design, Little Leapers strive to think outside the box luring the audience into Clara’s sugar plum-filled world.

When watching Little Leapers' Nutcracker, you forget you are watching a local, children's dance studio. Director Heather Leeper's imagination, which knows no limits, adds new and exciting elements each year. Over the past 10 productions, Little Leaper's version of the Nutcracker has boasted exciting elements such as a short film, flying mouse queen, aerial silks artists, a live orchestra (pre-covid), pyrotechnics, guest performers like Dylan from ABC’s hit show Modern Family, newly named Radio City Rockette Natalie Butt, as well as local dance groups: Ballet Project, Olé, & Turkish Student Association at Virginia Tech, Mental Health and Motion (Roanoke, VA), Modern Dance Ensemble (Extention of Roanoke Ballet Theater), and more!

In addition to the spectacle of sets and costuming, Little Leapers dusts off the old storyline and puts a fresh look on how Clara ultimately receives her Nutcracker. Don’t worry, it’s still the story you know and love, but sprinkled with a dynamic that will have you rooting harder for Clara.

Tickets range from $10.00-$35.00 depending on seat location.
