Radio City Christmas Spectacular

I saw this Christmas Spectacular at the Rosemont Theater on December 2, 2006

Genre: Musical Revue

Settings: The North Pole, New York City, Chicago, Winter Wonderland, and Jerusalem

This spectacular has twelve scenes to the show. Some of my favorite scenes are scene 4 The Twelve Days of Christmas. Scene 4 featured the rockets dancing to the song the Twelve days of Christmas. In scene 5 the Nutcracker: a Little girls dream Santa went out into the audience and picked a little girl who had a big imagination. Santa asked the girl to close her eyes and suddenly the a teddy bear dressed as the nutcracker came and took the girl to sit and watch the other bears, who were dancing to a few of the songs from the ballet. Scene 12 was my favorite one, The Living Nativity. This scene was the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus being born.

***** I give this Christmas Spectacular 5 out of 5 stars. I liked this Christmas Spectacular a lot because I liked how they went from one scene to another, sometimes without even a blackout. My favorite character was Santa Clause. And yes I would like to play the big man himself. I think anybody would love to go see this Spectacular.
