Upon arrival and check - in at the downtown luxury hotel — whose expansive lobby is decked out in holiday cheer — you'll receive a Joffrey Nutcracker gift bag filled with keepsakes: a commemorative program detailing the new version of the show (now in its second season), with behind - the - scenes peeks at set designs, dance rehearsals, costumes and more; a hand painted, wooden nutcracker doll; and, perhaps coolest of all, a real
pointe shoe that was worn and signed by one of the
dancers in the show.
