The Nutcracker | Behind Mother Ginger

TECHNIQUE BONUS WEEK // On Wednesdays, Mother Ginger wears pink! 🩷 Watch as Artist Schuyler Wijsen explains how he transforms into this larger-than-life role. From walking on stilts in the 40-pound costume, to embodying the character’s exuberant personality, becoming Mother Ginger is a feat as enormous as her silhouette. A joyful burst of theatrical flair and playful character work, Mother Ginger’s entrance is always a highlight on stage—experience it yourself, now until Dec 28.
