Clara's Dream CD - Live at The Music Hall

Featuring:  Brenda Bufalino, Dean Diggins, Josh Hilberman, Drika Overton, Bob Thomas, Katey Yoder & entire cast with the Paul Arslanian sextet

Recorded live at The Music Hall, Portsmouth, NH, in December 2002, our newly released CD captures the electricity and spontaneity of this high-voltage, swinging and sophisticated adaptation of Tchaikovsky's fairy tale ballet, The Nutcracker.  Innovative and inspired jazz arrangements of the cool classical themes are played by a virtuosic six-piece band and danced by a company of internationally acclaimed tap dancers.

"Clara's Dream, a jazz nutcracker" was created by MaD Theatricals, a company of dancers and musicians led by artistic director Drika Overton.  Performed to sold out houses since its premiere in 2000, it is a uniquely American jazz tap celebration.

  • Waltz of the Flowers
  • The Funky Nut
  • Peanut Brittle Brigade
  • Sugar Plum Fairy Tango
  • Cuban Coffee
