No!
I have previously posted that I've seen the nutcracker as done by Boston Ballet nearly every year of my life. but now the Wang center has "severed ties" with Boston Ballet, because of financial woes explained in this article from the Globe. Which means they'll bring in the rockettes instead of the nutcracker. Apparently this was announced a while ago, but I missed it. The article includes this line: "The "Nutcracker" decision was "the cultural equivalent of the Red Sox sale of Babe Ruth to the Yankees," one Boston Globe reader wrote to the editor."
As a born and bred Bostonian, I actually have to agree. The Wang Center is a non-profit host to non-profits, and now where will they go? What happens to the ballet?
