Organizer’s description
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. Please note the Shubert Theatre does not have an elevator; however, an accessible unisex bathroom is located off the Main Lobby. If you experience difficulty climbing stairs and wish to purchase seats in the Mezzanine or Balcony, please plan accordingly and arrive early to allow extra time to get to your seat. Restrictions and safety protocols vary by performance. Be sure to visit this show's event details page immediately prior to each performance and to carefully read our pre-performance emails for important information pertaining to your performance.
