Here’s what the rest of the critics are saying:
“The moment the curtain rose on Boston dance guru Tony Williams’s …. the ‘Urban Nutcracker,’ I got it. The scene wasn’t some snowy, woodsy setting that could just as easily have been a backdrop for a Lexus December to Remember TV commercial. It was a street corner, with a park bench, a vendor, and apartment buildings in the background. There was a different kind of energy, one not at all driven by the powerful music of an orchestra but by the excitement of the people on that corner.” — Boston Globe
“The dancing is superb. Tony Williams’s 14th edition of the street smart ‘Urban Nutcracker’ soars aesthetically and satisfies emotionally. The eye popping and heart-lifting dancing from classical ballet and swing to krump and tap, the sweet mix of Tchaikovsky’s beloved score for ballet with swing orchestration from the great Duke Ellington and his orchestra, the silly jokes and belly- laughs and the solemn parts that tug at the heart and bring a tear or two.” —The Edge
“Williams gets more savvy in providing surprises in ‘Urban Nutcracker’ year after year. In response, his audiences grow in number, appreciating this excellent addition to the holiday stage treats.” — Patriot Ledger
“A Nutcracker with real soul” — Boston Metro
