The Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular embody each of these attributes, making them a perfect fit for Rothman."

"We are excited to welcome Rothman Orthopaedic Institute to the Christmas Spectacular family this holiday season," said Jessica Tuttle, Senior Vice President, Productions Business Operations, The Madison Square Garden Company.
