The Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Word of Mouth Reviews: "There's all-new excitement in this year's Radio City Christmas Spectacular. All of the moments you remember and love are there—(The Rockettes! Santa! The Living Nativity!)—plus a new opening number and freshly updated sets and costumes. We figured that there's never been a better time to send our Word of Mouth panelists to check in, so they did! Now watch and find out what they thought of this New York City holiday tradition."

I've never seen the Rockettes, but I'm going with my mother this year and I have to say they have a lot to convince me of. I feel like the show is just a classy version of Las Vegas showgirls and I never really enjoyed any of their shows. I wonder what it is about a kick lines that keeps audiences coming back for me. It'll be fun though to compare and contrast the Rockettes to Las Vegas Showgirls (not including nudity, of course)

It's at least good that they've re-vamped the show, allegedly, but I really feel like this show is aimed at tourists and nobody else. I don't know many people in my area that have seen this but everyone else and their mother seems to have seen it. I guess the aesthetic value of the show is really to wow an audience in that "outsider to broadway" sort of fashion.
