The Hip Hop Nutcracker

An evening-length production featuring dancers, a DJ and a violinist, The Hip Hop Nutcracker puts an urban spin on the classic story. In this rendition of the classic ballet, Maria-Clara and her Nutcracker Prince travel back in time to the moment when her parents first meet in a nightclub. Jennifer Weber, artistic director of the Brooklyn-based theatrical hip-hop dance company Decadancetheatre, directs and choreographs the show. The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the State Theatre. Tickets start at $20. (Niesel)
