Radio City Music Hall Christmas

The Radio City Music Hall is the venue for one of the grandest holiday tradition in the city, the Radio City Christmas Speactacular. The annual musical holiday stage show showcases the Rockettes and other performers, lavish sets and costumes and an original musical score. The area surrounding the Radio City Hall is always crowded during the holidays because of locals and tourists visiting the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the Christmas displays on Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular Celebrating 85 Years of the Rockettes

This year's Radio City Christmas Spectacular marks a milestone for the Rockettes. It's the 85th year celebration of the Rockettes. The 90-minute show at the Radio City Music Hall features dazzling dance numbers, beloved favorites, breathtaking 3-D special effects, awesome projections and a brand new showcase featuring the evolution of the Rockettes' most extraordinary costumes through the years. My personal favorite is the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers shown in the youtube video. The show runs through December 30 at Radio City Music Hall

Subway Ad - The Rockettes in Radio City Christmas Speactacular at 47th Street - Rockefeller Center Station

The 47th Street/Rockefeller Center Subway Station (BDFM line) prominently displays an ad for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. The ad features the Rockettes, who were first formed in 1925 as the Missouri Rockets in St. Louis. By 1932, the precision dance team ended up in New York City on the stage of the brand new Radio City Music Hall. Today, the Rockettes, famous for its high-kicking chorus line, are still going strong. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular celebrates the 85th Anniversary of the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall in midtown Manhattan, now through December 30th.
