Courtesy of New York City Ballet, Miriam Miller of New York City Ballet will be Sugarplum for the first time with Dances Patrelle, and Jared Angle will return as Cavalier. Also joining the company are Maximilien Baud (Billy Elliot national tour, Joffrey Ballet School) as the Snow King, Grace Pierce (A Chorus Line national tour) as the Snow Queen, and Reed Tankersley (Twyla Tharp Dance Company) as the Snow Prince.
