Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater. Their story began in 1950, when Golden Era Legends graced the stage of The Miami Beach Municipal Auditorium. Guests came from around the world to watch such shows as song and dance performances, comedy or even the occasional boxing match. The 1990s saw the birth of the theater as both a great theatrical and performance center (Rent, Phantom of the Opera and Riverdance), as well as a concert hall – drawing such shows as Marc Anthony, El Puma and the Gypsy Kings, Tony Bennett, Liza Minelli, Seal, and Lenny Kravitz.

In 2007, the theater was again reborn, undergoing a multi-million dollar transformation. Operated by Live Nation, the future of the music business, The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater showcases the biggest names in live entertainment.

Nutcracker wouldn’t be Nutcracker without the local Children’s cast! Dancing alongside the full international professional cast are local Miami children from Pilares Dance. Pilares Dance students are trained in a supportive and loving environment and taught to have a positive attitude and respect. They learn to control their body and mind, to develop love, art and culture. Director Elisabeth Del Pino has been dancing over 20 years and has over 23 years of teaching experience. She has developed a dance program to maximize student’s growth and potential.
