The Rockettes Usher Return of RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR Tonight

Embraced by generations of families, the RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR is an awe-inspiring celebration of the holiday season. The run kicks off tonight, November 13, and plays through January 3, 2016 at Radio City Music Hall.

Opening night will honor the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charity that together with The Madison Square Garden Company, works with local children's hospitals, wish organizations and community-based organizations to make dreams come true for kids facing obstacles. The festivities will kick off on-stage with a special performance by one of the 2015 Garden of Dreams Talent Show performers before the official opening night performance of the 2015 Christmas Spectacular season. The on-stage celebration will be hosted by Knicks broadcaster and TODAY SHOW contributor Jill Martin and MSG network announcer Al Trautwig.

The 2015 production features dazzling Rockettes dance numbers, spectacular costumes and state-of-the-art technology. The RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR continues to be enhanced with fresh and dynamic content while preserving what has made the production a beloved holiday tradition.

The CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR recently introduced a new finale number called "Snow," which features GPS-enabled snowflakes. This was followed with the debut of the re-imagined "Rag Dolls," a classic dance number that originally debuted in 1940. Santa's enchanted workshop in the North Pole serves as the backdrop for this high-energy tap routine, featuring the Rockettes as rag dolls.

The 2015 CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR will feature both of these performances, which take the Rockettes signature technique and athleticism to greater heights, and will join classic performances, including "Living Nativity," which takes audiences on an awe-inspiring journey, and "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," which sets the standard for the Rockettes style of precision dance.

The RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR will run from November 13, 2015 - January 3, 2016. Tickets are on sale now at radiocitychristmas.com or at the Radio City box office.
