By Libby Smith, CBS Denver: DENVER (CBS4) – Colorado Ballet is bringing back its holiday favorite "The Nutcracker" — but this production is going to look a little different. The Nutcracker premiered 129-years-ago, and has been a holiday classic ever since. The story begins with Clara befriending the Nutcracker, who then comes to life on Christmas Eve night to battle against the evil, Mouse King. A win against the mice transforms the Nutcracker into a handsome Prince, and he and Clara travel to the Land of Sweets. It's a beautiful fantasy, that has become a tradition for many families.
