Returning December 11 & 12, 2021
|
The Lady Hoofers are proud to present THE TAPCRACKER, a full-length, all-tap version of the classic holiday favorite. Set to the music of both Tchaikovsky and Duke Ellington, THE TAPCRACKER transports audiences to Paris, where an infestation of rats has thrown the city into chaos. Toy soldiers guard the Eiffel Tower, mice wreak havoc in the Metro, and frazzled chefs prepare for a feast at the magical palace of Versailles, featuring characters from the beloved Land of the Sweets.
THE TAPCRACKER features The Lady Hoofers' First Company, Apprentice Dancers, and our Youth Ensemble, comprised of talented students from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. |
“[The Tapcracker is] taking its rightful place among the Philadelphia holiday traditions on the Avenue of the Arts.”

"The Nutcracker" in Tap Shoes

"When I first heard about The Tapcracker, I didn’t know what to make of it. The Lady Hoofers, a tap-dancing troupe made up entirely of women, had created a tap version of the Nutcracker staged at Suzanne Roberts. With the Pennsylvania Ballet’s seasonal extravaganza three blocks away, I didn’t see how the new show would work. But Tapcracker is a minor gem."
