At Cleveland Modern Ballet, children shine on stage through our modern adaptations of classical ballets in two annual performances: "The Pop!Nutcracker” and a spring PopBallet! Some recent spring shows have included "Beauty and the Beast," told through the music of Lady Gaga & “King of the Pride,” an energetic interpretation of The Lion King, featuring the music of Flo Rida, Imagine Dragons, classic hits from the movie, & more! Last spring’s production of "The Little Mermaid," delighted audiences with an eclectic soundtrack of hits from ballets, operas, movies, & popular music.
