This Christmas, Olivier-nominated Little Bulb presents a deliciously daring reimagining of The Nutcracker at St. Martin’s Theatre — a magical musical quest with a twist.

When two squabbling siblings receive a mysterious Nutcracker from their fabulously eccentric aunt on Christmas Eve, they’re swept into the fantastical “Mousey Realm.” Their mission? To band together and defeat the villainous, many-headed Mouse King before he destroys Christmas itself.

Forget about tutus and tradition — this joyful, silly retelling bursts with colour, chaos, and Christmas cheer. With cheeky musical mice, inventive cardboard creations, and larger-than-life characters, every moment sparkles. You’ll laugh until your sides ache, tap your toes to festive tunes, and leave feeling full of wonder. From comedic mishaps to heroic teamwork, this family-friendly show celebrates bravery, imagination, and the magic of togetherness.

Perfect for children and grown-ups alike, The Nutcracker offers something for everyone: spectacle, heart, humour and holiday magic. Whether you’re creating memories with little ones, treating theatre-loving friends, or finding the perfect festive outing, this is a show that lifts spirits and spreads joy.

Join us at St. Martin’s Theatre this Christmas season — your adventure into the Mousey Realm awaits!
