Since 1933, this spectacular show has dazzled audiences with its blend of Christmas storytelling, breathtaking choreography, and theatrical magic that transforms Radio City Music Hall into a winter wonderland. The production combines classic holiday favorites with stunning visual effects, elaborate costumes, and the legendary eye-high kicks that have made the Rockettes a global phenomenon.

The show appeals to all ages, creating magical memories for families while offering nostalgic charm for adults who grew up with this New York institution. The production runs approximately 90 minutes with one intermission, featuring both intimate moments and grand spectacle that showcase why this has remained Broadway's longest-running Christmas show.

The Art Deco masterpiece's soaring ceilings and grand proscenium arch enhance every moment of the spectacular, while the venue's impeccable acoustics ensure every note and tap resonates throughout the 6,000-seat theater.
