The Nutcracker in Princeton

The show is advertised to start at 7:00 PM at Chuck Mathena Center. Venues rarely publish an exact headline stage time in advance — with a support act on the bill the headliner is usually on around an hour to ninety minutes after doors, and Chuck Mathena Center's own listing on the day is the authority.

Doors at Chuck Mathena Center are typically about an hour before the 7:00 PM start time, though it varies by venue and by show. Arriving early is worth it for entry queues, bag checks and merchandise.
