Sensory-Friendly Performance

Jan 05, 2025

A RELAXED THEATERGOING EXPERIENCE

This performance is designed to provide a relaxed, inclusive environment where individuals with sensory processing challenges, including autism, can experience New York City Ballet. Slight modifications will include a relaxed entry/exit policy, adjustments to lighting and sound levels, designated break areas throughout the Theater, additional event staffing to assist with audience needs, and pre-visit resources, including a visual schedule. This special performance features the beloved holiday classic George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®. Set to the enchanting Tschaikovsky score, audiences will delight as they embark on a magical journey with Marie and the Nutcracker Prince as they defeat the Mouse King and celebrate their victory in the Land of Sweets. With 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 40 stagehands, and more than 125 children from the School of American Ballet, in two alternating casts, this production is a treasured jewel of NYCB’s repertory, capturing the joy of the holiday season.
