Take Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic on a joyride through the Garden State, where two kids from different sides of town discover a mysterious golden suitcase—and find themselves racing through city streets, down a magical manhole, and into a vision of their city they never imagined.

With acclaimed Nimbus professional dancers, young performers from across the state, dazzling jazzy choreography, larger-than-life sets, glittering costumes, animated projections, and plenty of laugh-out-loud characters, Jersey Nutcracker is a celebration of imagination, community, and the joy of the season.

After 16 years of thrilling audiences and sold-out performances, Nimbus is bringing this beloved Jersey holiday tradition to the majestic Loew’s Jersey Theatre as the iconic 1929 Wonder Theatre reopens its doors.

❄️ See you at Loew’s Jersey Theatre!

Kick off your week with a song and a smile.

Dawn Marie Bazemore’s 2019 “The After Party” is a staple of the Nimbus repertory.

Set to music by Nancy Wilson and Nina Simone, “The After Party” is infectiously joyful at times, complex and defiant at others, but always a jaunt and a pleasure to watch!
