SALT LAKE CITY — Ballet West is celebrating the 80th anniversary of a community favorite, " The Nutcracker ." The story centers around a girl whose dream comes true. And that is exactly what has happened to a Utah dancer who KSL-TV has been watching since 2012. With grace and precision, Rylee Rogers takes center stage as the Sugarplum Fairy in Ballet West 's 2024 performance of " The Nutcracker ." "I've been dreaming of this day for so long," Rogers said.
The coveted role is one Rogers has hoped to perform for as long as she can remember. "I just got promoted to the rank of demi-soloist this past season, and so I thought that I maybe would have a year or two before I would, you know, receive this role. I love the music, especially the music for the Sugarplum Fairy. It's such a full-circle moment," she said. "I truly feel like I'm dreaming. It doesn't seem real sometimes, especially being the Sugarplum Fairy this year," Rogers added
