Event Details

Anthony Williams’ URBAN NUTCRACKER, the modern Boston-centric holiday classic, returns to the Shubert Theatre for the 2025 holiday season!

Celebrating its 25^th year, this classic dance theatrical will showcase winter scenes set in present-day downtown Boston, blending the rhythms of Duke Ellington with the classical music of Tchaikovsky. Anchored by classical ballet, the performances also feature a broad range of dance forms, including tap, hip hop, flamenco, and jazz.

On Friday, December 19, Urban Nutcracker will present its lively LGBTQ+-inclusive version of the production for its fifth year, featuring Boston drag artist Patty Bourrée.
