Didn't really know what to expect. I'd never been to a show like this before, plenty of musicals but not really a dance show. It was AMAZING, the whole experience, staff at the show were very helpful, seats were comfortable, venue overall was beautiful. The show was very entertaining from start to finish. You can see why the Rockettes are so loved by fans. The routines they do must take a lot of hard work and time and are quite simply mesmerising.Beautiful ladies, lovely costumes and perfection in what they do. If I ever have the chance to go to New York again I would definitely go to watch them again.

We attended a show on Christmas Eve - it was our first Rockettes show and it was absolutely amazing! The Rockettes, the dancers, the costumes, sets, music, lights, and the iconic Radio City Music Hall venue. We loved it all. One of the best shows we've ever attended. Although the line-ups outside were insane they went quickly so don't be discouraged. We were also pleasantly surprised with the cost of merchandise as it was among the reasonable we've seen for this type of performance. I wish I had photos to share to show how magical it was but photos weren't allowed during the performance.

I come from France, and I absolutely loved seeing the Rockettes’ show during the Christmas season. It was incredible. I’m 20 years old, and it’s a show open to all audiences. It immediately puts you in the Christmas spirit, which made it even more magical especially for the Rockettes’ 100th anniversary. The lighting design, tailored to each scene of the show, was incredible. Combined with the costumes and the live orchestra, it truly draws you into the experience and makes the show even more magical than it already is.

The show remains the benchmark for festive New York. It's 90 minutes of concentrated magic without intermission, where high-tech sets (3D effects, ceiling projections) coexist with traditional stages.The wooden soldier number is the heart of the program, unchanged since 1933. Here's what makes it special: Alien precision: The dancers move not like people, but like clockwork machines. Their synchronicity is precise down to the millisecond, and their lines remain perfectly straight even during the most complex formations.
