Dance-Along Nutcracker® 2018: Clara Potter and the Elder Baton

SAN FRANCISCO LESBIAN/GAY FREEDOM BAND’S HOLIDAY CLASSIC JOURNEYS TO A WORLD OF MAGIC!San Francisco’s celebrated, off-beat holiday favorite is back with some magic. The 2018 Dance-Along Nutcracker® takes audiences on a journey to Fogwarts School for the Magically Oriented with Clara and Fritz as they search for Jon Sims’ legendary elder baton. Each year, the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band selects a theme to blend with Tchaikovsky’s classic “Nutcracker Suite.” The result? A fun-filled musical production brimming with wit, artistry, and ingenuity.  The talented cast sing and dance their way through a parody version of the Nutcracker. And when the “Dance-Along” sign flashes, the audience is invited to tug on their tutus and pirouette along with the cast. Even the muggles who don’t want to dance have a blast. This year’s show features musical numbers from Moana, Hairspray, West Side Story, and more!

Named the “Official Band of San Francisco,” SFLGFB has promoted visibility and built understanding between gay and non-gay communities through public musical performances.
