Listen to the Track
Le Nutcracker Showgirl Spectacular is a Bob Mackie–style fever dream inspired by the storyline of the classical Nutcracker ballet. The party-goers are replaced with raunchy swingers, the rats wear 8-inch boots, and we’ve traded in the Land of Sweets for the Land of the Showgirls. Making its world premiere at The Annex in Vancouver on December 10th, this new holiday tradition brings together extravagant costume design, comedic twists on the classic tale, and a spectacular ensemble of showgirls.
How to Audition
These courses for Le Nutcracker are designed for experienced, advanced, and pre-professional dancers to flex their showgirl repertoire and perform in a professional-calibre ensemble production. The first day of each course serves as both a class and an audition. To audition, dancers should register for Audition Day / Course Day 1 only.
Following the audition, selected dancers will be invited to complete their registration by purchasing the Course Fee + Production Fee for their role. Production fee will cover costume rental and other production-related costs. Production fees vary based on intricacy of the role’s costume. Dancers who are not selected to perform will be offered the opportunity to continue training in the remainder of the course by purchasing the Course Fee only.
Please do not purchase the Production Fee until casting has been confirmed. Casting results will be sent within 24 hours of Day 1.
About the Naughty Maids
In the Nutcracker ballet, the maid is often a source of comic relief. We wanted to continue that tradition while also hiking up their skirts, putting a flask in their bras, and instilling a Lucille Ball-style approach to physical comedy. The maids love being the life of the party, but they sure don’t like the chore of setting up for one.
