Where else would you see Go-Go Dancers, Batman and Robin,

Ballet's The Nutty Nutcracker can bring all the high finks
together in one wild evening. Last year's premiere performance
was such fun (and a success) that we have brought it back.
And we're not quite sure what you're going to see this year.
But it is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. Nutcracker
will never be the same.
