Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre, putting a Cajun twist on the holiday classic, will present its popular The Nutcracker: A Tale from the Bayou this weekend.
The family-friendly show was created in 1992 and has become one of Baton Rouge’s most highly anticipated events of the season.
A Tale from the Bayou takes the Nutcracker into Louisiana, with azaleas and oak trees to boot. The show features a cast of more than 300 community children and dancers, world-class professional guest artists and live accompaniment by the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.
