More About Nutcracker Dream

Special Holiday Event Nutcracker Dream lands in downtown White Plains
at KOI Creative Event Space, 169 Mamaroneck Avenue, 2nd Floor

Visions of Sugar Plums are dancing in your head and into downtown White Plains this Holiday Season. Nutcracker Dream is a beautiful interpretation of the beloved holiday classic and has delighted audiences young and old with its artistry and storytelling. Inspired by the work of Marius Petipa and Rudolf Nureyev, Nutcracker Dream is a one-hour and 15 minutes family-friendly adaptation of the seasonal favorite, created by world-renowned choreographer Carole Alexis, and performed by Westchester’s premier ballet company Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre / Ballet des Amériques. Alexis’ interest in creating Nutcracker Dream is to bring families and friends together around the essence of what the story represents, namely the beautiful balance between Marie’s childhood playfulness and her coming of age in the midst of her own circle of family and friends. Gather your kin for this unique, intimate holiday experience starting Friday, December 23, 2022.

Professional dancers from the company perform the featured roles of the ballet, while additional roles include young dancers from across the area. Nutcracker Dream premiered in 2018 and staged for two seasons at the Emelin Theatre and during a subsequent company tour overseas. The last two seasons took place at the Wainwright House in Rye, which again quickly sold out and prompted the production to be brought to downtown White Plains. The intimate performances will take place at KOI Creative Event Space at 169 Mamaroneck Avenue on the second floor above Lilly’s, a restaurant reminiscent of the great Victorian “gin palaces” that thrived in industrial cities of England and Northern Ireland. Lilly’s will be host to a unique Sugarplum Holiday Tea experience at 4pm each day during the week of performances except Tuesday. Lilly’s and its sister restaurant Hudson Grille also will be offering a complimentary drink to Nutcracker Dream ticket holders during the entirety of the performance run.

Event producer and former White Plains BID Executive Director Brittany Brandwein said “Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre/ Ballet des Amériques has brought quality artistry and worldly experience to downtown White Plains, a city ripe for the flourishing of cultural attractions. Events such as these bring vibrancy to our main streets and something desirable for the influx of residents in the area.”
