RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR Kicks Off Holiday Season, 8/12

MSG Entertainment (MSGE) announced today a nationwide kickoff to the holiday season as the world-famous Radio City Rockettes "Kick Across America" in celebration of the 2010 Radio City Christmas Spectacular. On Thursday, August 12 The Rockettes will kick coast-to-coast in eight of the 26 cities in which the Christmas Spectacular will play this season. No matter where you are, either in-person or on-line, you can participate in spreading the magic of the Christmas Spectacular as our coast-to-coast kick-line will benefit deserving families.

This year, for the first time, we will expand our annual "Christmas in August" event outside of New York to include a select number of cities where the 2010 Arena tour will stop this holiday season - New York, Los Angeles, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Wichita, San Diego and Fresno. Patrons in New York are encouraged to join in the "Christmas in August" festivities in front of Radio City Music Hall on Sixth Avenue at 1:30PM and kick up their heels with this legendary dance company. The event will continue at the same time across the country in the other participating markets (specific city event times and locations listed further below) immediately following.

To give as many people the opportunity to participate as possible the Christmas Spectacular has expanded their digital footprint by inviting fans worldwide to join the kick-line, either in person or on-line, at www.radiocitychristmas.com and ‘kick for a cause'. Patrons will be able to ‘click and kick' to give the first gift of the Christmas season. If one million kicks are generated on the on-line kick counter, the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charity that works closely with all areas of Madison Square Garden to make dreams come true for kids in crisis, will send deserving children and families across the country to see this magical holiday production. Additionally at the event, Capital One Bank, presenting sponsor of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in New York City, will present $10,000 by Manhattan market president, James Covington, to the Garden of Dreams Foundation to kick off the "season of giving" at Radio City Music Hall.

Patrons are encouraged to share their best kicks through the Christmas Spectacular social media channels, starting today and continuing beyond the event date, through August 30th. On the day of the actual event, selected photos and videos submitted by participants will be posted LIVE online at radiocitychristmas.com:
