NEW YORK (AP) β A very adult take on Tchaikovsky’s famous Christmas ballet “The Nutcracker” has won the 2014 Goldstar National Nutcracker Award.
The ticket discounter on Tuesday declared the “A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker” by MBS Productions the winner of the 8th annual contest that crowns the best version of “The Nutcracker” in the land. Playing at Stone Cottage Theatre in Addison, Texas, it beat out nearly 70 other productions.
Written by Mark-Brian Sonna, “A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker” centers on a staid book club hoping to host a fundraising production of the famous ballet until all the dancers fall ill. Then it’s up to burlesque stars to save the day.
Voting for the Goldstar National Nutcracker Award is determined by Goldstar members who rate and review “The Nutcracker” productions they recently attended.
