Nutcracker 2011
Westside Ballet's production of The Nutcracker is a Los Angeles tradition 
dating all the way back to 1973. The Wadsworth Theater in Brentwood has been the production's home since 1999.
Brought to life by falling snow and a Christmas tree that grows, Westside Ballet's Nutcracker is not only the longest running Nutcracker production in Los Angeles history — it's the closest to George Balanchine's original version in quality, integrity, and musicality.
Showcasing the most promising young dancers in Los Angeles, Westside Ballet's Nutcracker is the traditional, full-length ballet in two acts, with lavish costumes and exuberant choreography.
