What to expect
Most Nutcracker runs open in late November and play through December, with the busiest dates falling in the weeks right before Christmas. Productions in Philadelphia usually mix weekend matinees with evening performances, and matinees are the popular choice for families with younger children.
There are two broad kinds of production: a resident ballet company staging its own Nutcracker with its own dancers (often with a live orchestra), and touring productions that visit many cities over the season. Both tell the same Tchaikovsky story; the listing title and venue show which one you're looking at.
