Great Holiday Shows for the whole Family
Patrice Shields Florida Weekly December 2016
The Naples Players KidzAct present The Nutcracker Goes Pop! December 3-13, 2016. A Naples holiday tradition for the past 10 years, The Nutcracker Goes Pop! is an original production, based on the holiday classic tale but with a fresh twitst as a modern pop variety show. The show is entirely sung and danced by a cast of over 100 KidzAct children ages 4-18 at the Sugden Theatre, Naples, FL.
“Each show remains as fun as the first, energized and made new through the students’ excitement as they encounter old and new friends in our song repertoire.,” said Megan McCombs, KidzAct Director at TNP. “The old songs lure the audience in and the new songs keep the show fresh and and timely, charging the air with electricity and expectation. We think it will be the best Nutcracker ever and the fans are excited too as the first show has already sold out!”
