Anthony Williams’ “Urban Nutcracker”, a contemporary holiday classic that captures the spirit of Boston, returns to the Boch Center Shubert Theatre this December! This enchanting production showcases winter scenes set against the backdrop of downtown Boston, blending the vibrant rhythms of Duke Ellington with Tchaikovsky's timeless compositions. Anchored in classical ballet, this year’s performances feature a diverse array of dance styles—including tap, hip-hop, breakdance, flamenco, and jazz—all accompanied by an 8-piece live ensemble of talented local musicians.
Featuring new and original cast members, "Urban Nutcracker” can be enjoyed by the whole family, and all ages! Acclaimed Flamenco artist Nino de los Reyes makes his “Urban Nutcracker” debut alongside longtime favorites such as tap phenomenon Khalid Hill, fresh from his performance in the holiday movie, Spirited; former Boston Ballet dancer Gianni DiMarco as Drosselmeyer; Boston native Joe Gonzáles, a member of the New York based Complexions dance company; the talented Boston-based ballerina Ruth Whitney; and Isiah “MoveLikeZay” Beasley, the Hip-Hop wonder, dances as the Soldier Doll.
Bollywood dance is again incorporated into the Prologue, and the second year of a partnership with the Fédération Régionale de Danse de la Guadeloupe brings young dancers from the French island of Guadeloupe to Boston.
“Urban Nutcracker” brings its lively LGBTQ+-inclusive version of the production for its fifth year on December 20 featuring Boston drag artist Patty Bourrée.
