Nominees Announced for 13th Annual Goldstar National Nutcracker Award

The Only Award Dedicated to Live Performances of the Beloved Show

PASADENA, Calif. - November 13, 2019 - (Newswire.com)

 Today, Goldstar announces the nominees for the 13th Annual Goldstar National Nutcracker Award, the only award honoring live performances of The Nutcracker nationwide. More than 50 productions are vying for a cash prize to go towards education and accessibility programs, as well as the coveted title of Best Loved Nutcracker in the U.S.

As has become tradition, the nominees represent a wide variety of genres, styles and creative themes. They include well-known ballet companies like San Francisco Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and three-time Goldstar National Nutcracker Award-winning Joffrey Ballet, but also unusual tellings of the holiday classic, such as Nutcracker Rouge from creator Austin McCormick and his gender-bending troupe Company XIV and The Hip Hop Nutcracker, which replaces the pas de duex with poppin’ and lockin’ and features ‘80s rap icon MC Kurtis Blow.

The complete list of nominees for the 13th Annual Goldstar National Nutcracker Award can be found here: https://www.goldstar.com/nutcrackers. And locally nominated productions can be viewed here: https://www.goldstar.com/categories/nutcrackers-tickets.
