Dance of the nutty fairies. The musical comedy “The MeshugaNutcracker” returns with its unique and witty retelling of the Hanukkah story. Eight citizens of the fictional town of Chelm each share an entertaining tale that celebrates the holiday, set to Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” score — but spiced up with klezmer and Broadway fusion, original lyrics.
Dec. 4-14 at Marines’ Memorial Theater, 609 Sutter St., S.F. Also Dec. 25-28 at Heritage Theatre, 1 W. Campbell Ave., Campbell. $54-$72. www.themeshuganutcracker.com
