== Differences from the original film ==
* It is mentioned that the Mouse King has a father, during the song A Really Mean Mouse, mentioned by his mother, the Mouse Queen.
* The Mouse King and the Mouse Queen are portrayed as puppets, while the rest of the mice, are portrayed by humans dressed as mice, instead of puppets.
* When the Nutcracker stabs the Mouse King, this falls to the ground, as in the animated version.
* When The Mouse King is tripped by the shoe that Clara throws to save the Nutcracker, it burns its tail when it is in the fireplace and not with a candle as it happened in the original animated film.
* All the mice are gray, unlike the animated version that were of multiple colors (like Brown and gray).
* The Mouse King's death is very similar to that of its animated version.
* The Sugar Plum Fairy appears as a cameo during the song Save the Dance.
* The way in which the Mouse King mocks Nutcracker when he wakes up, is very similar to the animated version.
* The shouts and moans of the Mouse King never appear in the musical.
* The design of the dolls of The Mouse King and The Mouse Queen are very similar to those of its animated version, with a unlike twist (Mouse King's eyes are changed from pink to red, besides poser a row of sharp and pointed fangs).
* TBD
