Company of Dance Arts: The Nutcracker in Red Bank

Company of Dance Arts: The Nutcracker brings a beloved holiday ballet to Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, New Jersey, on December 13, 2026. Listed in the Theatre category and Ballet subcategory, this performance is part of a holiday-season tradition presented by ballet companies across North America.

First performed in St. Petersburg in 1892, The Nutcracker features Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's celebrated score and a story that follows Clara from a Christmas Eve gathering into a fantastical world. Familiar highlights include the Battle with the Mouse King, the Waltz of the Snowflakes, the Kingdom of Sweets, and the Waltz of the Flowers. The ballet's two-act structure and signature festive scenes have made it one of the most widely performed works in the repertoire.

This production is presented by Company of Dance Arts. Nutcracker performances often combine classical choreography, elaborate costumes, and scenic transformations, including the iconic growing Christmas tree and the Kingdom of Sweets. Production details, including the use of live or recorded music, can vary by company. The supplied event listing identifies December 13 as the Red Bank date; it does not specify opening acts or a tour-specific cast.

Venue and Seating Information

Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center for the Arts is the setting for this performance in downtown Red Bank. For ballet, seats with a clear, centered view of the stage can help audiences follow formations and appreciate the full stage picture, especially during ensemble scenes such as the Waltz of the Snowflakes and Waltz of the Flowers.

When choosing seats, consider your preferred balance of overall choreography and detail: a more central sightline generally makes it easier to take in the full production, while seats closer to the stage may bring costumes and performers into sharper view. Specific section names, sightline limitations, and seating recommendations have not been confirmed here, so review the venue's current seating map before selecting tickets.
