Christmas in New York City means one thing: the Radio City Rockettes are back in business! Tickets are now on sale for The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, the annual holiday extravaganza of sparkly sets, eye-popping costumes, high-kicking showgirls and of course a visit from Santa Claus himself.
This year’s 90-minute spectacular will begin performances on November 9 and play a holiday engagement through December 30.
For 85 years, Radio City Music Hall has played host to the lavish holiday stage show featuring the world-famous dance troupe, the Rockettes. This year’s show builds upon a revamped program in 2007, which was tweaked again in 2011. The variety tradition includes a series of 12 scenes which fill the stage with singers, ice skaters, a full orchestra and various farm animals—including a camel! The show includes holiday classics like “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers” and more instantly recognizable Christmas tunes.
