The Buttcracker: A Nutcracker Burlesque
They add, “Because she’s comfortable with her body and sexuality, she hires Drosselmeyer to come and perform for her coworkers. Her boss gets completely offended—he’s very conservative and very shocked—so he fires Clara. Drosselmeyer feels bad for her. A magic act happens and produces a little nutcracker for her. Inside the nutcracker’s mouth is a drug that eventually takes Clara to the Land of the Sweets.
The show now features a much more extensive production team: “We’ve hired a scenic designer, lighting designer, costume designer, and a sound designer,” Seifert explains. “We’re at a theater space where we’re in it for a full month, whereas before we were sharing it. . . . This year, I just kind of sat down and said ‘You know, this year, let’s make it, and let’s make it as good as we can.
Highlighting the best of Chicago’s burlesque community is indeed of paramount importance for Seifert: “It is such a huge part of this city that people don’t know about, and they don’t know about the history of burlesque in Chicago. I think it’s having a bit of a revolution. The more I can support other artists is really a boon to what I’m trying to do.”Performer Francescon won the role of Drosselmeyer after more than two years of professional inactivity thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
