The Nutcracker Tea
- see all dates
We'll come right out and say it: this event is an expensive cup of tea. However, along with the fancy tea party, held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills, guests are treated to a special, intimate performance of selections from Los Angeles Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker, dancing with characters, shopping in the Winter Boutique, and photos with Santa, Clara, Nutcracker, and Baby Mouse.
And, presumably, some exceptional tea. It could be a holiday event your kids will remember for years to come.
Kids enjoy creating sparkling crafts and sipping hot cocoa when tea time concludes, and adults can shop the holiday boutique at the hotel with a sparkling rose in hand. This year, guests can also opt for an overnight experience.
This year, pricing is per table (the smallest party size is a party of two). Keep in mind that the pricing is high because this event is a fundraiser. Los Angeles Ballet will donate funds to the LAB's Outreach Education Program.
These always sell out, so advance purchase is a must.
Tea times are 10am, 1:30pm, and 5pm on Saturday, November 18, 2023 and 10am and 1:30pm on Sunday, November 19, 2023.
