Why see Radio City Christmas Spectacular?
Showcasing the the world famous Radio City Rockettes at the most magical time of the year, without you needing to go to New York!
The Rockettes follow up their successful 85th anniversary revamp with their stunning technological enhancements and new show-stopping Rockettes performances. In this multi-themed production, the Rockettes will perform in countless scenes including The Nutcracker, The Nativity, as marching tin soldiers, glamorous reindeer and will welcome a very special gentleman to the stage!
In addition to the annual New York production, this touring version is presented in theaters throughout the United States. The first Christmas Spectacular outside of Radio City was presented in Branson, Missouri at the Grand Palace Theatre in 1994; coming home as it were, as the The Rockettes were originally called the Missouri Rockets! The successful show launched a national tour the following year. The original touring show ran from 1994 to 2003. In 2008, a new tour comprising the 2007 edition launched to wide acclaim.
In 2012 the Rockettes celebrated 85 years since the first version was presented at Radio City in 1933, and is treasured as a New York Christmas tradition, seen by more than a million visitors a year.

The Rockettes were super!
I brought my two daughters (14 and 16 yrs old)...they thought it was wonderful. We loved the tin soldiers dance. It was absolutely spectacular !!! Their uniforms were so particular, clean and straight...they did looked and moved like tin soldiers with wonderful music. The pleasant surprise was the scene of baby Jesus being born. High quality and elaborate costumes. Now a days...shows shy away from the meaning of Christmas and this production should be praised for their work. Super Job !
Finally, they use a high tech back screen to add to the show. There is a NY scene that makes you feel like you are moving in your seat with the rockettes.
Highly recommend this show to all viewers...young and old. ... Read more
