Discover mystery and mayhem, solve puzzles and crack codes, meet a cast of unusual characters, listen to incredible big band play Tchaikovsky in 8/8 rhythm and dance the night away all at Club Drosselmeyer 1941, an interactive Nutcracker in Swing time!
It’s 1941 and the elusive inventor Herr Drosselmeyer and his niece, Dr. Clara Stahlbaum are hard work on Drosselmeyer Industries’ most important invention yet: Project Nutcracker, version Delta. But what is the role of a mechanical super-soldier at the home front when there’s a new war on? And how will Herr Drosselmeyer’s swanky Cambridge night club help keep morale high, all while mobilizing citizens to aid in the war effort?
Dancers, divas, acrobats, magicians, sugar plum fairies, rat kings and spies will all be racing for the newest codebreaking technology… because whoever controls the information will win the war.
