A visit to New York City in December would be incomplete without seeing Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular featuring The Rockettes. This amazing production has thrilled families for 75 years and annually attracts over a million visitors. This year's show consisted of 12 festive vignettes - complete with holiday music, stunning sets, colorful costumes, 3-D animation, and, of course, Santa Claus. Thirty-six Rockettes were prominently showcased throughout the program with their high-kicking, synchronized dance moves. We loved every single minute of the 90-minute production, and I would be hard-pressed to choose which vignette was the most spectacular.
We caught the 5:00 show, leaving us plenty of time to savor a memorable dinner at The Modern - MoMA's 5-Star restaurant. My courses included Tartare of Yellowfin Tuna & Diver Scallops, Sullivan County Foie Gras, Long Island Duck Breast, and Warm Fig Tart for dessert. A++
After dinner we accidentally caught the filming of a promo for NBC's upcoming New Year's Eve broadcast. Hundreds of teenaged-extras lined up to be the enthusiastic audience for "My Chemical Romance." Sarah and Paul recognized the rock band right away. I, however, had to do a Google.
I love unexpected celebrity/band sightings! The Rockettes look especially snazzy in their antlers. I will never forget the impressive stage at Radio City Music Hall. Looks like AMAZING food! Save me a bite next time, will ya?? :)
ReplyDeleteThis was SUCH a great evening in NYC! The Rockettes were wonderful (Paul especially got a "kick" out of seeing them)! Our dinner at The Modern was fantastic - great recommendation, Beth! :)
