A forty-eight-year Madison holiday tradition, Dance Wisconsin’s The Nutcracker is the only local performance that includes dancers, a live orchestra (the Dance Wisconsin Orchestra), and the magical vocals of the Monona Grove High School Singers. The cast includes members of the Dance Wisconsin Company and additional dancers from all over south central Wisconsin including the counties of Dane, Green, Rock, Iowa, Waukesha and Sauk.

This 48 year strong production is excited to debut new costumes, updated choreography, and more importantly bring holiday joy to the Madison community for another year. Join us on December 20 & 21, 2025 at the Wisconsin Union Theater for Dance Wisconsin’s production of The Nutcracker Ballet.
