Nutcracker Rouge Through January 7th.

Nutcracker Rouge will be playing in Fort Greene until January 7th. “A sexy take on the classical ballet, featuring opera, circus, vaudeville, burlesque” is a good way to describe what to expect at this show but we would add that it’s also mesmerizing with both moments of ethereal beauty and hilarity. Everyone we know who has […]
