SUMMARY:Leading Ladies play Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite + The Nutcracker at Wethersfield\, at VIFF Centre
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never experienced the jazz version of The Nutcracker Suite before\, you’re in for a treat! \nGet Tickets\nLegendary composer/arrangers Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington brilliantly reimagined the classic Tchaikovsky ballet for a full-sized jazz orchestra. Taking cues from the vintage stylings of the 1940s\, 50s\, and 60s\, the Leading Ladies blend beloved jazz and blues classics with fresh\, original arrangements and a high-energy\, swingin’ performance style. Directed by trombonist Casey Thomas-Burns\, this dynamic and vibrant group of women first came together to perform a single show in 2019. They’ve stuck together ever since. \nAbout the film: The Nutcracker at Wethersfield (Annie Sundberg\, 2025\, 83 min) \nBack in the long\, dark Covid winter of 2020\, there was no way the New York City Ballet could mount its beloved traditional Christmas production of Tchaikovsky’s magical fairytale. But choreographer Troy Schumacher had a dream to save the show and get his fellow dancers back to work. Relocating two hours’ drive north of Time Square\, Troy set about staging The Nutcracker in and around the magnificent Wethersfield country estate in the Hudson Valley. With only a couple of weeks to rehearse\, 50 dancers and production crew come together to reimagine a classic without a stage\, wings\, or even seats for the socially-distanced audience. \nAward-winning filmmaker Annie Sundberg (The Devil Comes on Horseback) was on hand to celebrate their trials and triumphs.

He continued to write exciting and clever music for 16 more ’Peanuts’ TV specials over the next 12 years of his career\, as well as the score for Chuck’s first feature length movie: A Boy Named Charlie Brown. The Dean Thiessen 5-tet is paying homage to the Christmas-spirit origins of his career as well as the most catchy ear-worms in the years that followed. After the set\, there will be a brief intermission\, then enjoy the movie. \nSOLD OUT \nDean Thiessen – piano\nBonnie Northgraves – trumpet\nJohn Nicholson – flute\nBella Fedrigo – bass\nTyler Murray – drums \nAbout the film: A Boy Named Charlie Brown (Bill Melendez\, 1969\, 85 min)\nCharlie Brown enters — and wins! — the school spelling bee contest and is sent to compete in the nationals… The first Peanuts movie makes the most of the opportunities afforded by the big screen format: it’s a much more sophisticated piece of visual storytelling than the TV specials. Vince Guaraldi contributed the instrumental score (much of it drawn from the TV pieces)\, while John Scott Trotter and Rod McKuen also contributed songs. All three composers were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song\, though they lost to the Beatles’ Let It Be.
