Charlotte Nebres is the first black Marie, the young heroine of “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker,” at New York City Ballet. "There might be a little boy or girl in the audience seeing that and saying, hey, I can do that, too."

U will only be impressed when a black man stars in Broadway on Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?
