Radio City Rockettes

Christmas time in New York is touted as the greatest time of year. And nothing says Christmas in New York like the Radio City Rockettes. The show is in its seventy-sixth year and we had to make it part of our New York experience. The pictures are mostly from before and after because flashes were not allowed inside, and we were too enamored by the show to take pictures anyway.

Here is a window outside Radio City.

The stage from our seats. We had the front row of the third mezzanine.



This four level piano was belting out Christmas tunes before the show.



After this was where we couldn't take any pictures. The orchestra stage rose out of the floor and the show began. There was a 3D opening showing Santa flying through some of the main sights of New York City such as the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and on into the Radio City Music Hall. There were a total of twelve scenes and our favorite was easily the Toy Soldiers, and this is one that has been around the longest. The ladies also performed a tap dancing rendition to the twelve days of Christmas that was breathtaking. The show ended with a nativity scene for the ages. We were in awe of the whole show, and if you are in New York for the holidays, you have to come see this.
