The Nutcracker like you've never read it before... You want to know what I wish? I wish my father remembered who I am when he looks at me. I wish I didn't have to marry Drosselmeyer to save my family's fortune. I wish I could get a choreographer to quit judging me on the size of my tutu and let me dance. The silliest one of all - I wish someone would come to whisk me away from my dumpster fire of a life. But wishes aren't worth any more than the broken nutcracker I got on Christmas Eve. Until the old grandfather clock strikes twelve on Christmas morning when my handsome nutcracker comes to life and says "I'm the captain of the Nutcracker Guard and it's our sworn duty to protect you, Princess."
