Visions of Sugarplums: A Burlesque Nutcracker

Save "nice" for Christmas Eve and get naughty tonight, as local burlesque starlets Lily Verlaine and Nadine DuBois spike the punch with a little badonkadonk. Directed and choreographed by Verlaine with the ever-charming DuBois as host, the show promises a bawdy-positive spin on holiday traditions. (8 p.m. Fri. & Mon.-Sat., 2 p.m. Jan. 1. $35-$50. Lab Theater, 700 N. 1st St., Mpls. 612-333-7977 or thelabtheater.org) TIM CAMPBELL
