There is nothing quite like Christmas in New York! The Tree. The Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. The Christmas Windows along 5th Avenue. An entire floor of shoes at Saks..(ok, maybe that is there year round)
I have always wanted to see New York during the holidays. So when the opportunity presented itself this year I jumped at the chance to go cross a few things off my "things I have always wanted to do list." The Christmas Spectacular at Radio City didn't disappoint. A few words from the Radio City web site:
Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theater in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet. The walls and ceiling are formed by a series of sweeping arches that define a splendid and immense curving space. Choral staircases rise up the sides toward the back wall. Actors can enter there to bring live action right into the house. There are no columns to obstruct views. Three shallow mezzanines provide comfortable seating without looming over the rear Orchestra section below. The result is that every seat in Radio City Music Hall is a good seat.
A special thanks to Jerry Rose from Beckley Dance Studio for calling ahead and arranging for the Young Dancers in our group to meet a few Rockettes after the show. Most definitely a highlight of the weekend.
Check back. I may post a few more images from the weekend as I finish downloading the images. Until then...Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!
