Radio City Music Christmas Spectacular

If there is one event you don’t want to miss while in New York at Christmas time, it is the Radio City Music Christmas Spectacular, which is presented 4 times daily from early December until early January. It is a 90 minute continuous show with the Rockettes presenting their kick-line on several occasions, dressed as elves, reindeer, Santa Claus, toy soldiers and other outfits. The show premiered in 1933, and features more than 140 performers and an original musical score, and combines singing, dancing, and humor with traditional scenes. It tells the story of Christmas from the eyes of a child, with Santa Claus guiding you throughout the entire show. The climactic moment is at the end with the presentation of the Nativity, complete with 3 camels parading on stage followed by the 3 Kings and a retinue of attendants. You can see the whole show here in this YouTube link. Please try to find some time to relax and enjoy this spectacle, as if you are in the audience with a packed theatre – in fact all shows are fully booked months in advance, as there is a tremendous demand for this show.
