Boston has any number of takes on Tchaikovsky’s seasonal classic, from the traditional Boston Ballet Nutcracker to the more recent hit, The Slutcracker. The most fun you will have at a -cracker this year, however, will be at The Buttcracker. Now in its second year, The Buttcracker features butt-themed drag, burlesque, spoken word, and other callipygian shenanigans.

Sunday, December 18th at The Midway Cafe in JP. Doors at 7:30, show at 8:00. $10, 18+
