TV: A Spectacular Dream Team Assembles to Launch the NEW YORK SPECTACULAR!

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, three-time Emmy Award-winner Mia Michaels will serve as director and choreographer of the New York Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes, presented by Chase. Michaels will be joined by Drama Desk Award-winner Douglas Carter Beane as the show's writer, Alain Lortie as lighting designer, and multi-media and entertainment studio, Moment Factory, as video designer. Returning from 2015's successful inaugural production of the then called New York Spring Spectacular are set designer Patrick Fahey and costume designer Emilio Sosa, and from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular,sound designer Steve Canyon Kennedy.

New York Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes celebrates New York City in the summertime centered around the trip of a lifetime for two kids, who, while on a vacation in New York, are separated from their parents. The city magically comes to life to show them its many splendid wonders and helps to reunite their family in the end. The production will run at Radio City Music Hall from June 15-August 7, 2016. Tickets are currently available via Rockettes.com/newyork and at the Radio City box office.

The production debuted in 2015 as New York Spring Spectacular and was extended by popular demand, selling nearly 300,000 tickets over its eight-week run. Following this overwhelmingly positive reaction in just the first year, New York Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes is poised to become a perennial favorite to complement the long running and beloved Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Radio City Music Hall has always been known for its spectacular productions and New York Spectacular raises the bar for live entertainment at this storied venue.

The dream team just met the press to give a special preview of this year's show and BroadwayWorld is taking you inside the big day below!
