Kansas City Ballet – Sugar Plum Fairy Luncheon
The 16th Annual Sugar Plum Fairy Luncheon was held on December 11th at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. The festivities featured the Kansas City Youth Ballet performing excerpts from The Nutcracker, and holiday carols sung by the St. James Academy Honors Choir. Guests enjoyed watching the magicians perform, taking photos with the Sugar Plum Fairy and shopping at the Nutcracker Market. Following lunch, guests were dazzled by the matinee performance of The Nutcracker presented by Kansas City Ballet.
