And now... the matinee performance of Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular - December 4, 2008 - a special senior missionary activity.
For the 2008 Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes dancers, the publicity read:
"The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the world famous Radio City Rockettes is an unparalleled show featuring the Rockettes signature eye high kicks, and precision choreography in multiple show stopping numbers including; the legendary "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers", and "New York at Christmas," a dynamic holiday celebration."
And they were absolutely right!
Oh....we felt just like we were on the New York Sightseeing bus visiting all the famous stops for the holidays. It was breathtaking!(I took these pictures from our seats in the 2nd mezzanine with no flash, so that they turned out at all is nothing short of remarkable!)
Everything was life-size, colorful and stunningly breathtaking!
There just aren't adequate words to describe the vibrant scenes with stunning technology and lighting effects, including a "bus tour" of Manhattan and a visit to the North Pole!From our view, these life-size "toys" look so small as they dance around the lighted Christmas tree.
The color, the precision, the music and of course the dance was truly a spectacular blend of Christmas joy! For us, it was a once-in-a lifetime opportunity.
The peaceful manger scene at the finale was just the right touch and left us with a deep gratitude for all the gifts of our Father in Heaven, but most surely for the birth and life of the Christ Child.
What a beautiful day, spent with beautiful people - our dear missionary friends in the New York New York South Mission.

That looks like it was so much fun. Did I ever tell you that I sang on the Radio City Music Hall stage with a bunch of other kids my age when I was about 12? It was a once in a lifetime experience!
That can't possibly be real! Those pictures are breathtaking...I can't imagine how it looks in 'real life'! The food, the company and the entertainment look spectacular!!!(pun intended)
Those pictures are awesome! I can't imagine what it was like to see it live. Looks like you had a great time!
Sharon, these pictures are wonderful. They reminded me of last year when Scott and I went to the Christmas spectacular. You're right. The bus tour is beyond description. There's no place on earth like New York City at Christmas.
I am going to stuff myself into nicole's luggage and come see this show!
