The Fair Park listing pairs Tchaikovsky’s music with dancers, acrobatics, costumes and puppets for two performances on Saturday, Dec. 12.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Fair Park’s description gives this Nutcracker a broad stage vocabulary: alongside dance and Tchaikovsky’s score, it lists acrobatics, costumes and oversized puppets. It outlines the production’s elements rather than naming performers or detailing individual scenes.
The announced mix includes international dancers, acrobatic performance, costumes and puppets. That makes the description useful for understanding the production’s range, but it is not a scene-by-scene program or a named cast roster.
The listing says the production is set to Tchaikovsky’s music. It does not state a running time or whether there is an intermission, so visitors should not plan around an assumed finish time.

The event is at Music Hall at Fair Park, not an outdoor attraction elsewhere on the grounds. Fair Park describes the hall as a year-round home for Broadway shows, ballet and opera, placing this dance production in one of the park’s regular performing-arts venues.
Fair Park’s venue information also identifies nonprofit Broadway Dallas with the hall and says it has presented Broadway in North Texas since 1941. The Nutcracker listing does not name a separate presenter, so that history is venue context rather than confirmation of who presents this performance.
