![We’ve loaded up two levels of our Staff Picks tree with Christmas selections, including the 2007 DVD of The Hard Nut, music by Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky; choreography by Mark Morris; produced by Judy Kinberg; directed by Matthew Diamond; a production of Thirteen/WNET with NVC Arts. [DVD 789] Based on E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, and based on the comic book art of Charles Burns, this reimagining transplants the setting to a gender-bent 1970s America in which the partying and the whimsy get ramped up. The Mark Morris Dance Group premiered it in 1991, and this filmed version was broadcast in 1992 by PBS. They’ll be performing it at @bam_brooklyn December 14-23, if you happen to be in the vicinity and feel like experiencing it in person. #thehardnut #markmorris #markmorrisdancegroup #thenutcracker #tchaikovsky #millsmusiclibrary](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/b1a521e8df3736230de0dfd7a86b29d3/5CA0DE1A/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s150x150/47692587_2126744697639274_8876945244813646601_n.jpg)

![All eight candles are lit tonight, so it’s time for Oy Chanukah!
