'The Nutcracker' Returns To Worcester This Holiday Season

WORCESTER, MA — The holiday season will be here soon, which marks the return of this year's production of The Nutcracker at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester.

The show will be led by award-winning music director and conductor Jonathan McPhee of the Boston Ballet and the Lexington Symphony. The two-act ballet will run from Nov. 28 through Nov. 30 at the Hanover Theatre, at 2 Southbridge St.
