Want to see a new twist on the classic story of the Nutcracker? I suggest checking out the Urban Nutcracker! Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker, the holiday dance classic with an inner city edge, features the BalletRox dance company and celebrates its 10th anniversary this December. December 3-19, 2010 Wheelock Family Theatre, Boston.
The Urban Nutcracker:
-
Follows the story line of E.T.A. Hoffman's 19th century fairy tale set in contemporary Boston.
-
Fuses ballet, swing, hip hop, and urban tap with the classical score of Tchaikovsky and the pulsating beat of Duke Ellington.
-
Celebrates the rich diversity of Boston's urban communities and spotlights the talent of over 90 area children.
-
Showcases an incredible array of set designs & costumes by Rebecca Cross.
