This past weekend, we went into New York City to see the The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. It’s one of those things that you need to do at least once in your life, if not more often (if you are close enough that you are able).
Starting on November 7, and running through December 31, you and your family and friends can go see one of NYC’s iconic show’s (and some of the world’s most iconic dancers) to really get the holiday season started.
My son was able to meet some of the lovely ladies of the Radio City Rockettes, which was of course fun. (There was a teenage boy waiting behind us, I think it was a little more fun for him, but still.) The Rockettes have been performing at Radio City since 1932, and during the Christmas season they preform 7 days a week. The Rockettes also perform every year at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC and America’s Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit. This past week, they also lit the Empire State Building red and green for Christmas. Gotta love those hard-working ladies!
Afterwards, we went down to see the show. My son was enthralled- it had been a few years since he had seen the show, and he really loved it. His favorite scenes were the Rockette- reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh, the many dancing Santa’s, and the Radio City version of “The Nutcracker”, with teddy bears.
He loved the surprise streamers and snow that fell on the audience as well. We all loved the ending, the true meaning of Christmas. It was a beautifully done “walk” by the 3 Wise Men and their entourage, as well as live animals, as they went to pay tribute to the new born King. At the end, traditional hymns and Christmas songs were sung and the whole group was in front of the Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
As much fun as Christmas and Santa are, it’s great that the Radio City Christmas Spectacular ends the show on the right note. We can’t wait to see it again soon.

I’ve never been to New York City but would love to attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Someday. Looks like it’d be an amazing show experience. I watched a documentary on the Rockettes one time and they definitely put a lot of time and dedication into what they do.
