- What’s the show all about? Without spoiling everything, expect to be greeted by Santa Claus himself and discover 14 festive scenes showcasing Christmas in New York. The Rockettes—glamorous dancers famous for their signature high kick—lead the show. Each performance features 36 dancers on stage! The pace is relentless and the special effects are stunning.
- Among the most popular scenes, the wooden soldiers number is my absolute favorite. The dancers execute geometric formations before being swept away by a cannon blast—incredibly technical! You’ll also love the amazing double-decker bus ride through New York. The nativity scene features a camel on stage. Plus plenty of other surprises, including drone effects.
- The show delights audiences of all ages with nods and references for everyone. Trust me, those 90 minutes fly by. It’s simply magical!
- Radio City Hall itself is worth the visit for its stunning Art Deco style. Its grand stage spans over 100 meters and is truly impressive. During the holidays, it’s also the perfect time to enjoy the neighborhood’s festive lights, including the magnificent Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, and the nearby ice skating rink.
