This past week I had the amazing opportunity to go see the Radio City Rockettes New York Spectacular the day before it opened. I had never been to a dress rehearsal performance for such a big show and I was super excited. I have to say though, even though it was a dress rehearsal, it did not feel like it! I enjoyed the show so much I thought it would be a great idea to share the reasons why!

Reason #1: Imagination

The entire show focuses on the magic of imagination and how you should never forget to imagine, no matter how old you get. The show starts with humorous mockery of a millennial teenager who won't get off her phone and progresses to show that very teenager tuning in to her inner child again.

Reason #2: Sets

As they say, its all in the details! The sets that are used for the show are really accurate! One of the first scenes of the show takes you inside Grand Central Station and let me tell you, it looked like they had transported the Station to the stage!

Reason #3: Special Effects

The special effects used during the performance are beautiful! From rain to lighting, Radio City truly outdid themselves. I don't want to give everything away, but you will be left wondering how they pulled off some of these amazing effects! They will make you feel like you're in another world!

Reason #4 Comedy

There is a little bit of comedy in the show which makes it appealing to everybody! The performance had my mom laughing, but also included pop culture references that my generation would find funny as well.

Reason #5: The Rockettes

We all know the Rockettes for their famous performances during the Holiday season, but they don't only just shine during that time of year! The New York Spectacular features the Rockettes throughout the main characters' journey throughout New York City. Their dancing and coordination is better than ever! And we can't forget the breathtaking costumes!

The Radio City New York Spectacular is a must see this summer!
