  Every December, The Nutcracker comes to life in theaters all across the United States. But how did this 19th-century Russian ballet become such a big part of the holidays in 21st-century America? 
  
  Meet Willam, Harold, and Lew Christensen, three small-town Utah boys who caught the ballet bug from an uncle in the early 1900s. They performed alongside elephants and clowns on vaudeville, immersed themselves in the New York City dance scene, and even put on a ballet featuring gangsters at a gas station. Russian immigrants shared the story of The Nutcracker with them, and during World War II—on a shoestring budget and in need of a hit—they staged their own Christmastime production in San Francisco. It was America's first full-length version and the beginning of a delightful holiday tradition.
  
  Follow along and learn how The Nutcracker came to be performed all across the United States from these truly humble beginnings.

  In the vast and beautiful ocean, lived a young, green turtle named Tony. At only two years old, Tony was incredibly shy, and whenever he felt embarrassed or scared, he would retreat into his shell, which would blush a bright red. One day, a group of mischievous dolphins, led by the particularly mean-spirited Danny and Derek, discovered Tony and began to relentlessly tease him about his blushing shell. Heartbroken, Tony hid, sobbing, until a kind and wise lobster named Lulu happened upon him. Lulu, seeing his distress, offered him a clever plan. She advised him to stay hidden in his shell the next time the dolphins appeared, and then, at the moment they least expected it, to spring out with a mighty roar. Tony, filled with a newfound sense of hope, agreed. The next time the dolphins came to bully him, he followed Lulu’s advice perfectly. He sprang from his shell with such surprising force and a loud roar that the terrified dolphins sped away and never bothered him again. This act of bravery transformed Tony. He became confident and outgoing, making many new friends, and even finding a girlfriend. He learned that it’s okay to be shy, but that true courage comes from facing your fears when you are ready.
