Anthony Williams’ Urban Nutcracker

BalletRox presents the third annual Urban Nutcracker at Dorchester’s Strand Theater for five performances. Considered Boston’s newest holiday tradition, BalletRox’ Urban Nutcracker celebrates the city’s diversity, unites people and communities, and provides new opportunities to dancers of all skill levels and backgrounds.

Created by BalletRox founder and artistic director Anthony Williams, the show is a collage of classical and contemporary dance, including ballet, hiphop, urban tap, swing and more. Paced by a Duke Ellington-infused Tchaikovsky score, the production largely follows the story line of E.T.A. Hoffman’s 19th century fairytale, but departs from it by setting the story in a contemporary urban setting.

Group tickets can be purchased by calling 617-282-8000 x101 starting Monday, November 24th.
