Radio City Music Hall

Now, mind you, as a “new music person,” I wouldn’t have ordinarily attended this BUT I am so glad I did. Mary Rowell is the concert master of the orchestra and she kindly got me two tickets for the 11 am show (there are five shows a day). It was truly spectacular from before the curtain rose until the very last leg kick. The show has been running since 1933 and the hall used to be the largest in NY and the curtain the biggest as well. I won’t even try to describe the show so take a look at the photos. I will say it opened with two organs moving into view from the sides of the hall and playing, of course, Christmas songs. Henceforth, glorious sets including 3-D videos, dancing, costumes, songs, music. The only flaw was the ubiquitous ads especially from Chase Bank. However, the whole show was highly professional, beautifully produced and really fun. You should all go some year.
