Reviews

Around this time of year, versions of The Nutcracker are as ubiquitous as holiday sales. Are you really saving money? Do you really need to see another “Nutcracker”? Austin McCormick’s Nutcracker Rouge, performed at XIV, is an oddity, and not only because of its kinky edge. This coming-of-age story delicately balances burlesque, circus and baroque with ballet as its through-line.
