About this Event

One-Man Nutcracker

written & performed by Chris Davis

You know the Nutcracker the ballet, but what if the ballet was performed by only one man? If the daughter Marie, little boy Fritz, creepy uncle Drosselmeyer, the mice, the Sugar Plum fairy, were all channeled through one actor. Chris Davis is proud to bring you One-Man Nutcracker, a re-telling of the original E.T.A. Hoffman Nutcracker Story and the Ballet.


“Should be a yearly tradition in Philadelphia!” – Row Home Magazine

"It's smart. It's funny. In the words of the show itself, it's better than CGI."

- Broad Street Review

“Imagine the holiday classic, The Nutcracker, a two-hour ballet masterpiece, condensed into just one hour. Then, imagine that instead of a company of over 100 ballerinas…there's just ONE.” – 6ABC Action News

"Condenses the two-hour classic into a ballet power hour." - Thinking Dance

"A strikingly original writer & performer." - The Scotsman

"...a refreshing splash to the face, laced with warm wit and humanity."- Broad St. Review
