The Joffrey Ballet's 'The Nutcracker' and the jazz-happy 'Sugar Hill: The Ellington/Strayhorn Nutcracker' have received positive reviews. The Auditorium Theatre's 'Sugar Hill' is described as a joyful, jazzy reinvention. The move of 'The Nutcracker' from the Auditorium Theatre to the Lyric Opera House in 2021 is highlighted, with the latter now hosting 'Sugar Hill,' a brand-new 'Nutcracker' ballet with a glitzy twist.
