The Rockettes are back at Radio City Music Hall for a summer stint in New York Spectacular. The new show, penned by Douglas Carter Beane and directed and choreographed by Mia Michaels, follows two kids, who while on a vacation in New York, are separated from their parents. With the help of the Rockettes, the city comes to life to show them its many wonders and reunite the family.
To celebrate the production, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch. There's Danny Gardner as Dad, Kacie Sheik as Mom, Euan Morton as Mercury, Kecia Lewis as Busker, Jacob Ben Widmar as the Mad Hatter and Vincent Crocilla as Jacob, along with Jenna Ortega as Emily (a role she shares with Lilla Crawford).
Broadway.com wishes the team a happy high-kicking summer...the show is running through August 7.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
