……………….If you have never seen the Show at Radio City Music Hall it must be on your bucket list!!!! The last time I saw it was two years ago just before it closed due to COVID…..This is so much more than a show…..It’s a SPECTACLE…..an EXPERIENCE you must have……For those who poh poh it or think it’s corny….they obviously haven’t see it, or lost the spirit of wonder. It always amazes me the precision, not only of the Rockettes who are always perfection, but the entire production, the lighting and special effects that take place all over the entire hall! You are totally surrounded with incredible effects….The timing is that of an air traffic controller!…I’m sure much of it is programed by computer, but the timing still had to be worked out and rehearsed and choreographed for weeks!!!! You even get three D glasses for a segment of the show, when Santa in his sled flies through the air to NYC from the North Pole…. There is snow that falls from the ceiling, and streamers that are shot into the air! Little “Ice Fairies” that literally fly overhead I’m sure are tiny drones….Some even crash into the audience, but the announcer gives a prewarning just in case it lands on you!….The nativity scene with the live animals always touches the heart. At last nights performance one of the camels didn’t quite want to cooperate!…..I thought is was actually going to bolt across the stage….now wouldn’t that have been a spectacle!!!…The dance of the wooded soldiers, a perennial favorite….never gets old…Robyn knows a Rockette who told her they could hardly see with those tall hats, and they are a little afraid of the girls in front falling on them….The last few girls actually do have a pretty hard landing!…..I would have taken many more pictures….but….I was told very nicely by an usher “no cameras or cell phones allowed”…….I was a bad boy!…….Well, you’ll just have to see it for yourself……I guess I’ve seen it maybe 7 or 8 times, or maybe more over my life….Jac loved to see the show!!!…..You will too!
