Myrtle Beach, SC – Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre is delighted to announce the 12th annual staging of “The Nutcracker.” Over the years, CYBT’s production of The Nutcracker has entertained thousands and thousands of children and grown-ups. 

The Nutcracker tells of the story of Clara and her magical Nutcracker Prince as they embark on a thrilling adventure with the Sugar Plum Fairy, dancing dolls and toy soldiers, mischievous mice, waltzing flowers, sparkling snowflakes and Mother Ginger! The libretto is adapted from E.T. A. Hoffmann’s classic story of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. The whole ballet is danced to the iconic music of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, with choreography and staging by CYBT Artistic Directors Liza Mata and Karen Mata after that of Marius Petipa’s and Lev Ivanov’s ballet.

The Nutcracker performances are brought to life by a cast of sixty talented young artists, which includes the Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre company members, together with students from Coastal Dance Centre, CYBT’s training school, and volunteer community members.

There will also be a Nutcracker special matinee show on November 27 for elementary, middle and high school students. The school show is part of Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre’s Outreach Program — that of giving back to the community by offering the show at a deeply discounted price to the student population with the purpose of introducing them to the wonderful art of Dance.
