About this adventure

The touring production billed as North America's largest Nutcracker stops at the Boch Center's Wang Theatre for a single evening performance. Now in its 33rd annual tour, the show tells the familiar Christmas Eve story of Clara and her nutcracker prince with classical ballet by an international company, mixed with acrobatics, towering puppets and large painted sets, which keeps younger children watching between the big dance numbers. Local ballet students take part: the tour's Boston host school is Danceartists Ballet Academy, whose young dancers perform alongside the touring cast. It suits families who want a full-length Nutcracker on one specific night rather than a long holiday run; the curtain is at 7:00 p.m., so plan for a late evening with small children. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster from the tour's Boston page, and the tour also offers group and homeschool group tickets through a form on its site.
