radiocityWhat says Christmas more than the Radio City Rockettes?!?

"How many trucks does it take to get the Radio City Christmas Spectacular show on the road? This year, it's almost 20, which makes the production the biggest theatrical version ever. New scenes and costumes, a spirited chorus, Santa, cool lighting, and a 50-foot LED screen help put the "spectacular" into this holiday revue, but the real stars are the Radio City Rockettes and their precision dance moves. Watch them tap their way through "12 Days of Christmas, hop on a double-decker in "New York at Christmas," and show off their skill in the classic "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." -- Milva DiDomizio, Globe Staff

Brand-new scenes and costumes and a 50-foot LED screen are the highlights of this return visit from the touring holiday show. The new material includes “Magic Is There,’’ in which two brothers (played by real-life brothers) journey to the North Pole, “Here Comes Santa Claus,’’ in which we learn how Santa can be in two (or more) places at once, and “New York at Christmas,’’ in which the Rockettes dance in a double-decker bus. But all the traditional favorites are back, including “The Twelve Days of Christmas’’ (revamped this year), “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,’’ and “The Living Nativity.’’--Jeffrey Gantz, Globe Correspondent"
