Chances are, if you are big on holiday tradition, you have gone to see “The Nutcracker” ballet a time or two.
Meanwhile, chances also are you probably have not yet seen “The Hip Hop Nutcracker,” a modern, remixed mash-up in which Tchaikovsky’s classic music and E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story are now spliced with a dose of a breakdancing “B-boy Dream Team,” a DJ, an electric violinist, and an opening set from the host/emcee/pioneer of rap, Kurtis Blow.
Given that “The Hip Hop Nutcracker” will be making its Salt Lake City debut at the Eccles Theater on Thursday, though, you now have an opportunity to rectify that.
