Nutcracker! Interview with Matthew Bourne
Play for Free
Go behind the scenes of Matthew Bourne's "Nutcracker!" with Matthew Bourne himself. In this fascinating interview, Bourne talks about the history of his famous Christmas production, from its first performance at the 1992 Edinburgh Festival to its triumphant return after nearly a decade away from the stage.
He reveals the inspiration behind some of the production's most unforgettable characters, like the Knickerbocker Glory, modeled after comic legend Terry-Thomas, a shimmering skating sequence inspired by Olympic star Sonja Henie, and the delicious parade of Gobstoppers, Marshmallows, and Ice-Cream Sundaes that have become the show's signature calling card.
