November 21-23, at Joe Louis Arena
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular will be returning to Detroit this holiday season after nine successful years at the Fox Theatre ? but this time in a brand new arena show. Directed and choreographed by Linda Haberman, who conceived and directed last year's critically acclaimed 75th celebratory show at Radio City Music Hall, the Arena production was specifically designed to play in large venues scaled to capacities ranging from 7,000 ? 12,000. This multi-faceted theatrical touring production will be completely constructed for an arena space, allowing the audience to experience the magic of The Christmas Spectacular at the grandest scale ever imagined by the Radio City creative team.
The show will be enhanced by an immense LED screen that will transport the audience from a wintry landscape to Times Square to Santa's Workshop right before their very eyes. The larger than life sets and awe-inspiring special effects, such as Santa flying out into the audience as snow falls upon the crowd, will allow families to connect with both the intimacy and grandness of The Christmas Spectacular as they are immersed in the warmth and grandeur of the holiday spirit. From the moment guests settle into their seats, the audience will become part of the Spectacular's magical experience. Traditional fan-favorites like "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," which continue to set the standard as the signature Rockette number for precision performance, and "the Living Nativity" will remain a vital part of the show's core. And this year, the Rockettes will undoubtedly bring the audience to their feet with a Rockette finale "Let Christmas Shine," which honors and celebrates the Rockettes as the stars of the show.
