This will be the third time Norton joins the 66-year-old, District of Columbia-based company for its holiday-themed production, which is in its 10th year. Norton made appearances in 2009 and 2011, and is once again slated to play a merry widow in the play. The artistic director of the play, Septime Webre, created the historical adaptation of The Nutcracker especially for the D.C. area in 2004, and uses local places, lawmakers, sports figures, and other notable D.C. figures in major and minor roles. Norton, Mayor Vincent Gray, and the late Marion Barry were among those who have performed in prior years. "There is no more delightful fun than seeing or being lucky enough to be asked to perform in The Nutcracker,” Norton said. “Isn’t this every kid’s dream? If truth be told, those of us who missed the chance in childhood are more than happy to try to make up for it, given the opportunity!” The Washington Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker will run through December 28, 2014. More information about the production is available here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
