Pacific Northwest Ballet can proudly lay claim to the world's most recognized and celebrated productions of Nutcracker. Nutcracker is a one-of-a-kind holiday delight with over 200 dazzling dancers, colossal moving scenery, live orchestra, and a gorgeous snowfall every performance.

Did you know:

• PNB’s Nutcracker is the result of a collaboration between Founding Artistic Director, Kent Stowell and author/illustrator Maurice Sendak.

• Over two million people have seen PNB’s Nutcracker.

• The women dance through 500 pairs of pointe shoes in one Nutcracker season.

• More than 200 pounds of snow (fire-proof confetti) fall in the Snow Scene.

• Sendak’s larger-than-life scenery designs call for more than 115 different props, including a 27-foot Mouse King puppet made of 17 moving pieces and an awe-inspiring 950-pound Christmas tree, with over 1,000 miniature light bulbs, that grows two stories tall.

• Over 190 costumes are worn for one production of Nutcracker.
