Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker, Boch Center Shubert Theatre Dec 17-23, 2022. Times vary. $29-$69 Now at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre.

City Ballet of Boston is excited to present Anthony Williams’ Urban Nutcracker! Boston’s original holiday classic will be back for its 20th season and packed with more magic for the whole family. Fusing Tchaikovsky’s classic score with Duke Ellington’s jazz interpretation, Urban Nutcracker puts a modern spin on the 19th Century fairy tale and transports the audience to an enchanted world not unlik

e their own. Urban Nutcracker delivers classic ballet, urban tap, hip hop, swing, flamenco, step, and a few other surprises that will have your family at the edge of their seats. The diversity Urban Nutcracker delivers in dance and music is matched by the diversity of performers you will see on the stage. Urban Nutcracker is a reflection and celebration of our multi-cultural communities brought to life by passionate and talented dancers and performers of all colors, creeds, sexual orientations and experiences. As they share the stage, your imagination will be illuminated with the hope of a more inclusive world. And the diversity you will see on the stage is reflected in the audience, giving members an opportunity to share a part of their holiday season in a multi-cultural environment where all we share outshines our few differences. Urban Nutcracker delivers the very cutting edge of dance and music collaboration sure to inspire a new generation of enthusiasts and warm your body and soul this winter! Constantly innovating to bring you the latest in dance and live music while staying true to the spirit of the Nutcracker, this year’s Urban Nutcracker adds spectacular new dimensions including updated choreography, costumes and surprise guest walk-on roles!

Joining the band wagon and not to be left out:
Happy Leap Year!
This is not a very clean image. The photo was taken in 1967. I was chosen to dance the lead in Balanchine's Scotch Symphony (Imagine me portraying a Scot!). It was a real thrill to be chosen to partner NYCB's Kay Mazzo!
