Annually since 1932 For nearly 80 years, when the cider starts simmering and the sidewalk Santas start jingling, generations of New Yorkers have come to the lavish confines of Radio City Music Hall to experience this old-fashioned holiday extravaganza.
The production of the 2011 Radio City Christmas Spectacular closed January 2, 2012. For current Off-Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.
On the famed Great Stage, you'll see a one-of-a-kind theatrical confection....precision-dancing Rockettes, whirling ice skaters, and a heart-stirring living Nativity (complete with camels and donkeys).
Radio City is calling the 2011 edition "The Rockettes Magical Journey," and hyping a new 3DLIVE scene they describe as "an immersive experience, using cutting-edge technology to extend the scenery beyond the stage onto the ceiling and walls, transforming the interior of Radio City into a massive, magical canvas."
Here's a clip of the Rockettes' classic Rag Doll number (which may or may not be part of the 2011 show):
Performances of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular tend to sell out, particularly the prime weekend shows from Thanksgiving on, and the few days just after Christmas. If the performance you want is unavailable, you you might also consider the "Big Apple Circus: Dream Big" or "Peter Pan" at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
According to Radio City, any child who has reached their 2nd birthday requires a ticket for admission to the Christmas Spectacular. Any child younger than 2 does not require a ticket, however, they must sit on a parent or guardian's lap.
