**The Slutcracker is back for its Eighteenth Season!** Hailed by critics as both “the perfect legacy for Tchaikovsky” (The Boston Herald) and a show that “ruins the message of Christmas” (The Boston Herald) come see why people travel from across the globe to witness this homegrown holiday spectacular. This burlesque version of the Nutcracker is inclusive, hilarious, and showcases local artists of various backgrounds, body types, and kink. ## This is an 18+ event. Please note: there is only **general admission seating** for The Slutcracker. Any platform selling “premium tickets” is a scam. Tickets should only be purchased via Ticketmaster or at the Somerville Theatre box office.
