The Milwaukee Ballet is once again performing The Nutcracker this holiday season. Uihlein Hall at the Marcus Center is where you will find all things Nutcracker up through December 26. This is Michael Pink's version as far as the production, but we all know that the music is exclusively Tchaikovsky. This two hour performance will have one intermission, and tickets are going fast.
