Radio City Music
Hall Christmas Spectacular
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular
which stars the world-famous Rockettes, returns
to Radio City Music Hall for many performances
this Christmas season. It all starts with a wonderful
new opening number. Join the entire cast as they
debut an original song featuring stunning new
sets, costumes and the kind of breathtaking stage
effects that earned Radio City the title "Showplace
of the Nation".
Expect a great new precision tap
routine by the world-famous Rockettes! Expect
to see and hear "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers"
and the majestic "Living Nativity" and
the edition of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular
is not to be missed.
The Christmas Spectacular features a cast of more
than 140-people, glamorous costumes, and holiday music written
exclusively for the Show. The stars of The Christmas Spectacular,
the Radio City Rockettes, will continue to dazzle audiences
with precision dance and world-famous eye-high kicks and Santa
Claus will make a special appearance from the North Pole.
An exciting 3-D film kicks off The Radio City
Hall Christmas Spectacular as Santa and his reindeer take the
audience on a sleigh ride through New York City. The audience,
all wearing 3-D glasses, tour Manhattan from the sky, past the
Empire State Building, through Central Park, by the holiday-clad
windows of Fifth Avenue, and finally land at Radio City Music
Hall.
Santa’s reply to a child's letter explains
"Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite" and introduces children
of all ages to Radio City's adaptation of the renowned ballet,
in which dozens of cuddly bears dance in a little girl's dream.
In "White Christmas in New York", forecasts
by local and national weatherman (look out for your favorite
meteorologist!), predict no chance of snow on Christmas night.
The Great Stage at Radio City turns into a scene right out of
romantic New York, including storefront windows along Fifth
Avenue and an ice rink with real ice skaters! With a little
help from Santa, the Rockettes are magically transformed from
storefront mannequins to dancing snowflakes and New York is
transformed into a winter wonderland.
In "Santa's Workshop", Santa readies
his sleigh for his magical journey. These beautiful reindeer,
portrayed by the Rockettes, are going to make Santa's ride much
more fun. As they kick off the stage and leap into the air,
their antlers magically light up and guide Santa's sleigh into
the night. Come see this wonderful holiday favorite. Whether
you're just visiting New York City, or you live here, this is
a must-see.
About
Radio City Music Hall
Radio City Music Hall is an entertainment venue
located in New York City's Rockefeller Center. Known as the Showplace
of the Nation, the Music Hall opened to the public on December
27, 1932, and now is home to The Radio City Christmas Spectacular,
a New York Christmas tradition since 1933, and to the women's
precision dance team known as The Rockettes.
Designed by Donald Deskey, the interior of the theater
incorporates glass, aluminum, chrome and geometric ornamentation.
Deskey rejected the Rococo embellishment generally used for theaters
at that time in favor of a contemporary Art Deco style. Radio
City has 5,933 seats for spectators; it became the largest indoor
theater in the world at the time of its opening.
The Great Stage, measuring 66.5 feet (20 m) deep
and 144 feet (44 m) wide, resembles a setting sun. Its system
of elevators was so advanced that the U.S. Navy incorporated identical
hydraulics in constructing World War II aircraft carriers. According
to Radio City lore, during the war government agents guarded the
basement to assure the Navy's technological advantage.
The 12 acre (49,000 m²) complex in midtown
Manhattan known as Rockefeller Center was developed between 1929
and 1940 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on land leased from Columbia
University. Rockefeller initially planned an opera house on the
site, but changed his mind after the stock market crash of 1929.
One of the complex's first tenants was The Radio Corporation of
America, hence the names Radio City and Radio City Music Hall.
