How do three popular Philly versions of The Nutcracker compare?

Broad Street Review: Nutcrackers pack the December dance calendar in Philly. Tap dance, contemporary, and ballet companies riff on A.T.E. Hoffman’s 1816 novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, whether it’s set to Tchaikovsky or Duke Ellington, choreographed for the corps de ballet or just one man. I wanted to compare them, so I made my way to three different performances.
