The Hip Hop Nutcracker has announced its 2024 tour to more than 25 U.S. cities this fall, including a stop at Norfolk’s Chrysler Hall for one show only on Thursday, December 19 at 7:30 p.m. Blow is host and MC of the family-friendly holiday mash-up and contemporary holiday dance spectacle that has performed more than 250 times in 70 cities and brings a modern twist to Tchaikovsky’s 130-year-old ballet. Joining Blow on stage is the powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers, an on-stage DJ and an electric violinist.
Tickets go on sale at 10:00 a.m. on Friday October 11 and can be purchased at the Scope Arena box office and Ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit SevenVenues.com.
The Hip Hop Nutcracker is directed, choreographed, and co-created by Jennifer Weber – an Emmy winner and two-time Tony and Olivier award-nominee who also choreographed the international hit musical, “& Juliet” currently playing on Broadway. Executive producing is three-time Tony winner and two-time Olivier award-winning producer Eva Price, whose productions have garnered six Olivier Awards, two GRAMMY Awards, two Emmy Awards, and 19 Tony Awards. The re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic story turns the beloved Nutcracker score on its head. Hip hop dance and Tchaikovsky’s timeless music blend together for a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event that takes audiences on a journey celebrating love, community, and the magic of the holiday season.
“The Hip Hop Nutcracker is a magical journey where tradition meets innovation, offering families and friends a holiday experience like no other,” says Blow, who paved the way for generations of hip hop artists and fans after scoring the first certified gold record rap song in 1980. Blow is also responsible for “Christmas Rappin,” acclaimed for being the first rap holiday song. “This show is proof that the magic of the holidays can be found in the most unexpected places.” Blow says the all-star cast, dynamic choreography, and stunning performances honor hip hop’s rich history while celebrating a cherished holiday story.
Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets, and learning the lessons of the holiday season. Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s beloved story from traditional 19th century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
Created in 2013 by Weber and writer Mike Fitelson, the production has evolved into a masterpiece due to the creators’ never-ending commitment to enhancing the production, and dancers who continue to raise the bar each year.

Television personality, author, and famed foodist Alton Brown today announced his final national theater tour that will visit more than 60 U.S. cities in 2025. “Alton Brown Live: Last Bite” (www.altonbrownlive.com) will launch February 13, 2025 in Melbourne, Florida before making its way to cities across the country including Brown’s hometown Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago before a final performance May 11 in Austin, Texas. Fans in Norfolk will get their chance to see “Alton Brown Live: Last Bite” when it visits Chrysler Hall on Tuesday, February 25 for one show only at 7:30 PM.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, October 11, 2024, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and the Scope Arena box office. For more information visit SevenVenues.com.
Brown, who has more than eight million social media followers, has created some of the most popular and successful live, interactive culinary variety shows ever. His “Edible Inevitable,” “Eat Your Science,” and “Beyond the Eats” tours performed in more than 200 cities with more than 550,000 fans in attendance. Now, Brown has cooked up a buffet of new surprises for this new tour show, which Brown has declared will be his last.
“Last Bite will be my farewell tour and my last culinary variety show, as it’s time for me to make my full-time return to male modeling,” says Brown.
Brown’s tenth book, a collection of essays and ruminations, Food for Thought, will be published by Gallery Books in February 2025, just in time for the tour launch. Before performing to sell-out crowds around the country, Brown started his career directing TV commercials when he got the crazy idea to go to culinary school and reinvent the cooking show. The result was “Good Eats,” an irreverent, science-forward program with Brown as its star; 256 episodes aired across 16 seasons. He also hosted the iconic programs “Iron Chef America,” “Food Network Star,” and “Cutthroat Kitchen.” Among his various mantle candy are a pair of James Beard awards and a Peabody. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, the designer Elizabeth Ingram, and a trio of nefarious canines.
