Clara’s Dream and a Holiday Musical Revue

Sunday • December 21, 2025 • 2:00 pm
Main Auditorium

Miller Marley School of Dance and Voice proudly brings its treasured holiday performances to the beautiful Lied Center of Kansas.

 

This two-act production opens with A Holiday Musical Revue, featuring the students of the Miller Marley Performing Companies in a sparkling showcase of song and dance. Act Two continues with our beloved rendition of the Nutcracker Ballet, Clara’s Dream.

 

Since its premiere in 2005, Clara’s Dream has become a cherished holiday tradition. The ballet highlights the artistry of the Miller Marley Youth Ballet, Miller Marley Youth Ballet 2, and a talented cast of guest performers. Written and choreographed by Matthew Donnell, with additional staging and choreography by Artistic Director Laura Branson, and adorned with exquisite original costumes by Tia Browning and Elaine Beckman Lynch, this unique adaptation of the classic Nutcracker follows Clara on a magical journey—from the splendor of a Christmas Eve celebration to the enchanted Land of Snow and the Kingdom of the Sweets.

 

Join us in celebrating the season with the magic of music, dance, and holiday tradition!
