To say it is a hit is an understatement… a two hour festival of the arts.

Tandy Beal’s dazzling and critically acclaimed family show, Nutz RE-Mixed is an exuberant re-staging of the treasured classic, The Nutcracker. This magical madcap retake features more than 30 world-class singers, dancers, and circus artists, including Mexican Folklorico dancers, hip-hoppers, ballroom dancers, and gymnasts in a zany holiday spectacular.

Beal’s rollicking holiday circus is accompanied by the Bay Area’s award-winning a cappella group SoVoSó, performing original Candy Land flavored tunes, a re-scoring of Tchaikovsky’s beloved holiday music, and other seasonal favorites. Beal’s riotous vision of circus and dance is the Nutcracker for the 21st century offering a spectacular treat for the whole family.  

The show isn’t merely a brilliant performance, it’s a whole string of brilliant performances...

It is as rich, as nourishing and as varied as the most sumptuous holiday table. It is, in fact, a masterpiece for its stunning ability to take the elevated, open hearted sense of joy and wonder historically associated with this time of year and place it in a fresh, utterly original new gift-wrapping….

You come away bedazzled. Taken all together, it’s almost too much pleasure to absorb in one sitting…. “Mixed Nutz” revives the genuine sense of wonder that is otherwise so elusive these days.”
