THE SLUTCRACKER
A Boston Globe Top Holiday Pick!
TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
Never before has so much fun been put onstage during the holiday season! Sure, we're Girls! Girls! Girls!, with everyone in between and beyond, but this time they're in charge. The weird stuff about The Nutcracker is fixed--No more creepy uncle sending little Clara to vacation with a stranger-man wearing a dance belt. We took out the children. Clara is instead played as a healthy adult. Our premier in 2008 broke the ticketing system at the historic 900-seat Somerville Theatre. More than 100,000 patrons have enjoyed an evening of beauty, subversion and laughs with us since.
Thrillist's Balm For 2020!
Curtain to curtain, we preserve the classic Nutcracker's essential music and story arc but insist you leave the kids at home. Our Cavalier is played as the Dildo Prince.
Boston Magazine: "Truly A Blessed Event"
The Slutcracker is staged with our own recording of Tchaikovsky's original music, performed by Filharmonie Brno, Mikel Toms, resident conductor at Symphony Orchestra of Inda, conducting.

One Of The Week's "Best Ways to Watch The Nutcracker!"
The cast is diverse across several axes: we cast performers of different shapes, sizes, colors, genders, abilities, ages (over 18), and talents. Year to year, the show changes partly based on who joins the show in a particular season. Sometimes inspiration for a new character, costume, or scene comes from an audition. We give a lot of wiggle room for performers to shape their characters—their diverse experiences bring a richness to both the storytelling and the choreography that a director can’t deliver on her own.
Also get hats, hoodies and pasties while supplies last.
No, we aren't X-rated, though we have heard reports of steamed windows in the parking lot and a couple of marriages.
Our full-length movie combines HD footage from several shows to present a curtain-to-curtain production.

Slutcracker: The Movie is presented on a custom player built with streaming industry standard architecture and software. Casting with Airplay (which is the Apple iOS mechanism to cast) has been tested the most extensively by our team and works best. Casting from a laptop running Google Chrome has been tested as well and has been more consistent than casting from an Android device to a Chromecast-enabled TV. Chromecast issues should be alleviated by mirroring the device screen to your TV.
