Fox, Radio City Music Hall and Rockettes' Magic combine to make memorable Christmas spectacular

The Fabulous Fox Theater is in and of itself a magical place.  It is undeniable that it offers a treasure trove of theater history and memories.’

And, when the recipe is enlarged to include the elements of one of America’s most revered Christmas traditions—the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular featuring the equally iconic Rockettes, the combination is literally magical, creating a memorable Christmas spectacular that serves to remind us why this is a season of joy and happiness—regardless of the economic Grinches that would attempt to destroy it.

For this review, I was fortunate enough to have three children with me, and I can assure you that seeing this show through the eyes of children, magnifies the joy even more.

Even in an age of hand-held electronic games, there is still something special about seeing dancers, elves, live animals, and even Santa Claus all on the same stage. 

Some reviewers criticize the show as old-fashioned and too sweet.  May they have lumps of coal left in their Christmas stockings.

The Rockettes, who got their start in St. Louis, continue to amaze with their precision, with the Wooden Soldiers and the Rag Dolls numbers especially enjoyable. 

As always, the show builds to the memorable climax of the Living Nativity Scene in which we are reminded of ‘the reason for the season.’ 

This is a wonderful opportunity to build a family Christmas memory, a Christmas Gift in and of itself from the Fox and Dance St. Louis.  It shows once again that there is still magic in the air.
