Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker
Tony Williams's Boston reworking of the Nutcracker sets its winter scenes in the present-day downtown and runs Duke Ellington's Billy Strayhorn-arranged Nutcracker Suite against Tchaikovsky's score. Classical ballet anchors it, with tap, hip hop, flamenco and jazz worked through the divertissements. It has played the city every December for more than two decades.
