Where to watch 'The Nutcracker' in Houston this holiday season

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The Houston Ballet has a brand-new production of The Nutcracker! There are new sets, new costumes, and new choreography. And the reviews have been fantastic. But all that excitement comes with a price tag. Tickets to The Nutcracker start at $39, and that's with an obstructed view. Otherwise, you will have to spend $65 for the next tier of tickets. Prices go all the way up to $139 and tickets are already selling out.

If you don't want to shell out all that cash or can't find a good seat, not to worry, we found some local theaters in the Greater Houston area that have options with ticket prices starting as little as $15 a ticket.
