Boch Center Shubert Theatre
265 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02116

Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker puts a modern spin on the 19th Century fairy tale and transports the audience to an enchanted world not unlike their own. Strains of Duke Ellington dovetail with the buzz of neon driven by the heartbeat of Tchaikovsky, as classic ballet, urban tap, hip hop, swing, flamenco, step and jazz blend into something special.
