Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker · Boston · Dec 12, 2026

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. Say hello to Clarice & friends...you've entered the world of the Urban Nutcracker. Strains of Duke Ellington dovetail with the buzz of neon driven by the heartbeat of Tchaikovsky. You could say it is a fusion of modern, multicultural and classical dance...but it's more! It's an or ganic interpretation brought about by a unifying of cultures. This is how art succeeds. This is how classic ballet, urban tap, hip hop, swing, flamenco, step and jazz blend into something special.
