Don't judge if you're a "wait-until-December-first-to-listen-to-Christmas-music" kind of person. But I watched the Radio City Rockettes perform one of their newest Christmas Spectacular routines at the Christmas in August celebration three times the other day (Thank you YouTube!).
Yes, one could say that the Rockettes get their holiday spirit on a little early, but their annual "Christmas in August" performance in front of Radio City Music Hall could get even the most Scrooge-worthy people tapping their toes. Used as a promotional tool for the show and a kickoff of the Christmas Spectacular season (pun somewhat intended), Christmas in August was given an even fancier facelift this year in celebration of the Rockettes' 85th year of performing in New York City. Skywriting, a visit from Santa, and a fashion show of some of the Rockettes' most memorable costumes throughout the years made the event definitely one to remember. (Fun fact: The original Rockettes were actually founded in St. Louis!)
The good news is, you do not have to live near sixth avenue or splurge on a plane ticket to Manhattan to immerse yourself in the joy, magic, and skill that makes up the Radio City Christmas Spectacular! The Rockettes will be traveling to Nashville, St. Louis, Dallas, and Chicago this holiday season and promise a show with something for everyone. From the classic living nativity and parade of the wooden soldiers to the new 3D Live video game routine, the Christmas Spectacular makes an effort to balance tradition and modernization year after year.
So wait until December to listen to Christmas music if you must, but grab your Christmas Spectacular tickets now - I guarantee it will be an experience you will never forget!
