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.
