This entertainment ballet company has achieved a 99% audience satisfaction rate** with productions such as “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” and “Snow White,” as well as over 1 billion views on social media*, an annual audience of over 20,000 people, and 5.8 million yen in crowdfunding. Finally, they have elevated “The Nutcracker,” one of the world’s three greatest ballets and one of the most beloved and beloved classics, into an “entertainment ballet that everyone can enjoy.” This performance is scheduled to run in Tokyo and Osaka from mid- to late February 2026. The leading roles will be played by artistic director Yamakai and Reimi Nakano, who co-starred as Belle in the recently concluded highly successful “Beauty and the Beast: The Ballet Show.” This original production will combine music, direction, stage design, lighting, and visual expression. Furthermore, Nerea, who took a break from leading roles in the previous production, will support the entire production as artistic director and embark on a new creative endeavor with the new cast. Advance tickets will be available exclusively to official members starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025, with general sales beginning Friday, October 10, on the official LINE account. While “The Nutcracker” is beloved and performed worldwide as a Christmas classic, it is often perceived as intimidating in Japan. That’s why, for The Ballet Show, whose vision is to make ballet “more accessible and part of everyday life,” we felt that now was the time to create a production that “everyone can enjoy.” Our ballet company, which has enjoyed support from people of all ages, will present a new “Nutcracker” as an “entertainment ballet” that can be enjoyed by everyone, with the feel of a theme park or a show. This new production is a challenge to deliver the music and story of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” a work that everyone has heard at least once, with The Ballet Show’s unique direction, and we believe it will provide an opportunity for even more people to experience the charm of ballet. While this work is often performed around the Christmas season worldwide, by placing it in February during Valentine’s Day, it takes on a new meaning as a “tale of love and dreams,” elevating it into a ballet that can be enjoyed year-round. Bringing together the expressive skills cultivated over nine years of YouTube activities, we will deliver an overwhelming theatrical experience that can be enjoyed by all generations, from first-time ballet fans to enthusiasts.
