Ayo Sowemimo (Sugar Plum Fairy), Lara BenZvi (Nutcracker), Ashley Eros (Clara) and Jack Biscaro (Rat King) are among 25 young actors appearing in the Theatrix musical version of The Nutcracker, running Thursday to Saturday at Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr., Port Moody).
Adapted by Deb Solberg with additional songs by Yurgen Ileander (aka children’s entertainer Mr. I), the story follows the classic tale of Clara, who receives a nutcracher from her cousin and sets off on a journey with Prince Almond and his sister Princess Candy Kiss from Candy Land.
She returns home thanks to the love of her mother, who has lifted the curse from Candy Land.
Tickets are $16/$12 via theatrixyoutheatre.com or at the door an hour before showtime.
