'Twas the night before The Nutcracker, and four young dancers are too excited to sleep, rehearsing every step in their heads. Told in the tradition of "The Night Before Christmas," this enchanting story follows them through auditions, rehearsals, and costume fittings all the way to opening night.
Created in partnership with American Ballet Theatre, it closes with an afterword featuring original costume illustrations by Tony Award winner Richard Hudson, a keepsake for every little dancer who dreams of the stage.
