Radio City Music Hall opened in December 1932, and the first Christmas Spectacular followed in 1933. The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and the Living Nativity have been part of the show ever since, and the Rockettes have become one of the best-known holiday acts in the country.

Arrive 30 to 45 minutes early, because the lines to get in can be long before the busiest December shows. Rockefeller Center's tree and the store windows on Fifth Avenue are a short walk away, so many families plan the show around them. Each performance is its own ticket, so buy the exact date and time you want.

Radio City Music Hall has a large orchestra level and three mezzanines. The front and center orchestra puts you closest to the Rockettes, and the first mezzanine gives the best full view of the kick line and the stage pictures. The second and third mezzanines are higher and farther back, but the hall was built with clear sightlines and they are usually the lower-priced seats. Check the seat map on your date before you buy.

Weekend shows, Thanksgiving weekend and the week of Christmas usually cost the most. Weekday matinees in early and mid-November are often the better value. We show the all-in ticket price before you pay. Call 855-855-6777 if you want to talk to a person.
