City Ballet of Cleveland presents its annual holiday classic, The Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker, on Saturday, December 13, at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium. Now in its 13th year, City Ballet of Cleveland’s Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker is an experience like no other. See dancers from Cleveland City Dance and four other area dance schools who want to dance for the holidays. This year, we see what happens after Katherine Halle’s family party and before the baseball game. Join Katherine on a Winter Wonderland through Cleveland until she finds herself in Public Square with a tree that grows before her eyes, a kind Nutcracker Prince, and a sneaky Mouse King. The trio makes their way to League Park for an epic baseball battle. Who will win tonight’s baseball game: the Mouse King and his army or the Nutcracker and his baseball team? Be part of the magic as you follow young Katherine on a journey to the lands of her dreams in this uniquely Cleveland twist of a holiday classic. Tickets are available online https://21927.danceticketing.com/r/events/ until Friday, December 12, 2025. Advanced tickets are $45 for adults and $35 for children and seniors. At the door, tickets increase to $50 and $40, respectively. The Lakewood Civic Auditorium is located at 14100 Franklin Blvd, Lakewood, OH 44107.
