Slutcracker vs. Nutcracker

*Please note: This play is not offensive in any way shape or form, but does contain adult nudity, and may not be suitable for all ages*



The Slutcracker combines the art of burlesque, comedic relief, and holiday cheer into a fun filled night of dancing, beauty, and laughs.

Currently, the Slutcracker will be performed at The Somerville Theatre, in Davis Sq (Somerville) throughout the evening hours from Dec 3rd-24th. So, take a night off from shopping and worrying about the holidays and enjoy some funny, beautiful, and talented girls' spin on this holiday classic.

But, at the same time, there is also the traditional holiday show by the Boston Ballet which will be suitable for all ages and will be a promising and unique family event.

The Boston Ballet will be performing the classic holiday story The Nutcracker at the Boston Opera House throughout december. This show evokes a holiday atmosphere and winter feelings for the whole family. Enjoy the magical journey!



I suggest going to both performances and forming your own opinion about how differently the traditional story by E.T.A. Hoffmann can be interpreted.

Comedic Relief

By Wednesdays we're all usually pretty tired, and are trying to get over the hump of the week. Take the night off and check out my friends and some other hilarious comics perform at ImprovBoston, located in Cambridge's Central Square. There are shows going on every night of the week, but Wednesdays are special because new talented acts are showcased. And hey, if you're enjoying yourself and want to laugh even more, stay for the late night performance at 10pm where comedians perform..well.. nude.

October Shows

The month of October is one of my personal favorites. It's probably due to my obsession with apple cider, Halloween, and football season being in mid swing. However, it's also the time for midterms and realizing how much work you still have to do before Christmas break. No worries though. Put down the books and take a night out on the town to see two (very different) concerts that are coming to Boston and are sure to be awesome.




Grab your hipster friends, put on your skinny jeans and come see France's finest import, since..Well in a long while. Phoenix will be performing at Boston University's Agganis Arena on Monday, October 18th. Show starts at 7:30
