Christmas Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes

The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes is an annual holiday musical stage show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The 90-minute production features over 140 performers, an original musical score, and combines singing, dancing, and humor. Classic scenes include the 'Parade of the Wooden Soldiers' and 'The Living Nativity', which have been presented since the first show in 1933.

Since its debut in 1933, the Christmas Spectacular has become a New York Christmas tradition. Conceived by stage producer Leon Leonidoff and designer Vincente Minnelli, the show originally accompanied Hollywood films. Over the decades, it has evolved with new numbers like 'Rag Dolls' (added in 2014) and state-of-the-art effects such as electronic drones (introduced in 2018). The Rockettes, founded in St. Louis, have performed in the show since its inception.

Attendees can expect a visually rich production with traditional and updated elements, from the precision dance of the Rockettes to the live nativity scene.
