NEW YORK - The New York City Ballet is staging a very special performance of George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker." 

It's the classic story of a young girl who's transported to a magical land after her family's holiday party. 

The show has been delighting audiences for 65 years, but this Sunday will be the show's first-ever autism-friendly performance for children and adults. 

Lead autism consultant for the Theater Development Fund Becca Yuré spoke with CBS2's Cindy Hsu about it.
