Go Inside the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes

December 19th, 2022 | By Lindsey Sullivan

The most wonderful time of the year in New York City would not be complete without the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, which has been a crowd-pleaser since 1933. Each year, audiences flock to the venue to see the Rockettes, Santa, a bunch of camels and more ring in the holiday season with an eye-popping production. On The Broadway Show, correspondent Perry Sook received a tour of Radio City Music Hall from two of the Rockettes, Maddie Rodrigue and Joanna Richardson. From the glittering chandelier in the grand entryway to the massive theater, take a look inside.

The Spectacular has two casts with a total of 84 who make the Christmas Spectacular sparkle—audiences see 36—on stage. “You literally feel like you’re walking in the steps of history, which is just so cool to feel a part of that legacy,” Rodrigue, who is in her fourth season at Radio City, said. “This show is the epitome of teamwork for us.”
