Mixed Feelings
by Susie Q on 11/29/25Radio City Music Hall - New YorkRating: 3 out of 5The Rockettes never disappoint. However, the show itself did. While the special effects on the walls and ceiling were a great addition, it seemed that Santa and the ensemble (singers/dancers) were on stage more than the Rockettes. It's understandable that they need time to change costumes, but sometimes there were two very long scenes/numbers in between Rockette dances. Don't get me wrong - Santa and his ensemble were fantastic performers, but we were there to see the Rockettes, not a Broadway show. And the abrupt shift from Santa at the North Pole to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem was quite disconcerting. Individually, each part of the show was great, but it just wasn't cohesive and I did not feel like the Rockettes were given adequate stage time.
