Urban nutcracker at Wheelock family theatre

BalletRox: URBAN NUTCRACKER    

December 3 - 18, 2011

Friday, Saturday nights at 7:30;

Saturday & Sunday matinees at 1:30

Just added: Sunday December 11 at 7:30; Thursday December 15 at 5:30

 

Anthony Williams brings his '"Urban Nutcracker" to Wheelock Family Theatre. This holiday classic jump starts the traditional Ballet with inner city edginess and features the professional BalletRox dance company and over 80 local children. The Urban Nutcracker follows the story line of Hoffman's original 19th century fairy tale but is set in contemporary Boston and fuses seasonal tradition with contemporary innovation. Ballet, swing, hip hop, and tap will interpret music from Tchaikovsky to Ellington.

 

A holiday spectacular that will delight both adults and children, URBAN NUTCRACKER has become a Boston tradition you'll want to share with your family every year.
