Sluts are coming! (Let me rephrase that!)

[jere7my]

Beantowners! Next month, The Slutcracker is returning to the Somerville Theater for ten shows over two weekends: December 10-13 and 17-20 (Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun @ 8PM and matinees Sun @ 2PM). All tickets are $20. It is, if you don't know, a burlesque parody of The Nutcracker which is joyous and rowdy and very very funny. I saw it last year, and wrote:

The Slutcracker is BRILLIANT. It sold out the main theater at the Somerville, and earned a ten-minute standing ovation from a crowd of hipsters and middle-aged ladies and assorted perverts. [...T]he dancing was really quite lovely and technically adept, with stage combat and on-stage costume changes and hula hoop spinning and belly dancing and whatever else you can think of. [It] manages to be coy and sweet and sexy and hilarious, all in pantomime. [...]

I know you're all sad you missed it last year. Well, now is your chance to atone — I'm going at least once this season, and I know a couple of people out there want to get in on the trip. Anybody else interested? Let me know in comments if you have a preferred date.

I was sad that I missed it last year, so I'd be interested. Going to Revels on the 20th, I believe, so that's out, but I think I'm free all of the other possibilities

The date of choice is Friday the 18th, if you haven't heard the news elsewhere.
