The spirit of Tchaikovsky guides Moscow Ballet’s professional ballerinas as they leap and pirouette against nine hand-painted backgrounds that invigorate his spirited score in time for the holiday season. Great Russian Nutcracker reintroduces audiences of all ages to young Masha, whose taste for adventure rivals her magical wooden doll’s legendary aversion to chestnuts. Dancers fling themselves across the stage in grand jetés as the curtain opens on Moscow’s iconic skyline, which gives way to a spooky dreamland as the Mouse King rears his fuzzy head to stir up mischief. Audiences gasp as legions of mice capture Masha’s strong-jawed companion and carry him away in front of a lavishly decorated Christmas tree that grows to a height of more than 60 feet and a population of more than 600 squirrels. Live orchestral accompaniment blares during the ensuing battle and ushers the action into the enchanted land of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the ballet's second act. Russian designer Valentin Fedorov’s 3-D backdrops pay homage to the snowy forests of his homeland, and the puppets that dance alongside the ballerinas nod to the mysterious felt creatures that roam the foothills of Siberia. Moscow Ballet selects its soloists from Moscow’s finest crop of dancers, and up to 60 local children traditionally get the chance to twirl their little feet with the company in walk-on roles.

The Groupon Guide to: Lunchboxes

Carrying lunch in a box is as handy now as it ever was. Here are some of the most popular designs adorning kids' lunchboxes this season:

  • Image of the toilet-paper bear visiting the laundry-detergent bear in the hospital

  • Sticker reading "My other lunchbox is a wet paper sack that broke open when I was running for the bus."

  • Photo of mom spreading jelly on one slice of bread and dad spreading peanut butter on the other (pre trial separation)

  • Hand-drawn Pikachu or a Furby or a Tamagotchi or maybe that’s a Spongepant?

  • Graphic stating "I voted (for a sandwich, an apple, chips, and a pudding)!"

  • Just an indentation in the shape of a fist

If you get really mad, is it OK to punch your lunch?
