On December 9–10 @Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 701 Mission Street

Nutcrackers of the Caribbean will be the theme of the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band’s annual frolic where audience members participate by dancing to live music from Tchaikovsky’s classic performed by the Band. The show, a parody version of the original, will feature Bay Area theater and cabaret stars, including Joe Wicht, Ruby Vixen, Dee Nathanial and Zelda Koznofski. As the story goes, Clara and Fritz will set sail with Captain Drosselmeyer and Queen Rattannia in search of buried treasure. The cast will sing and dance its way through the parody, and when the “Dance-Along” sign flashes, audience members will take up their tutus and pirouette along.
