New York City is a place where a lot goes on all the time. The Big Apple, as it is sometimes called, is a very cosmopolitan city in which you can find, at any time, all kinds of events going on, and many that will certainly match your tastes.

A Christmas trip to New York City is something very special. The whole city changes with the Christmas lights and a special atmosphere, as New Yorkers and visitors wait for the great day to come, often accompanied by snow, Christmas songs, warm drinks, yummy food and lots of markets and stores to buy the presents for your loved ones or a treat for yourself.

Do you feel a bit overwhelmed with all the so-called “not-to-be-missed” events New York City has to offer? In that case, this time we will not be of much help, as we would like to let you know about one more very important event going on in New York City this December, for Christmas time: the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

As every year, the Radio City Music Hall puts up a special event to celebrate Christmas in New York City. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is an enduring Christmas tradition, an annual musical stage show featuring an original musical score, as well as over 140 performers, with outstanding sets and more than 1300 magnificent costumes. This amazing Broadway show is seen every year by over two million people, both tourists and New Yorkers, who take a tour to the Radio City Music Hall to enjoy the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, one of the most watched live shows in the United States.

The performance is a “revue”, which is a popular theater entertainment that consists in multiple acts combining music, singing, humorous sketches and dancing. This genre, the “revue,” first originated in the 19th century’s American melodrama and popular entertainment.

Located in midtown Manhattan, right in New York City’s Rockefeller Center, the Radio City Music Hall, also known as “the showplace of the nation” was once a leading destination for all tourism in New York City, which led to declaring it a city landmark in 1978.

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular debuted in 1933, surprising its audience with highly elaborated special effects like indoor fireworks, indoor snowfall, live animals and a Santa Claus flying above the audience. Nowadays, on its 77th edition, it is still considered an “unparalleled Christmas show” and known for its universal appeal. It is the kind of place where to take your friends, family and specially your children during your Christmas vacations in New York, as it is an experience they will enjoy and will never forget.

The star performers of this year are, same as in 1933, the Rockettes. Founded in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA in 1925, the Rockettes were originally called the “Missouri Rockettes”. They are a women’s precision dance troupe that performs, every year, on five shows a day, seven days a week. The Rockette’s most famous routine –one you have probably seen at least once on TV- is the one they include at the very end of every performance: a chorus line executing, in perfect unison, an eye-high leg kick.

The flawless precision of this dance company can be best admired in their all-times “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers”, which has become legendary. It is during this performance that the audience is taken on a magical ride to Santa Claus’s workshop in the North Pole, where they can see how playful rag dolls come to life.

Other than this performance, the Rockettes perform every year – since 1957- in the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade and the America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which took place the past November 25th. Traditionally the tree lighting ceremony, another New York City’s classic at the NBC’s Rockefeller Center, also includes a performance by the Rockettes.
