How to Enjoy the Radio City Christmas Spectacular

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is one of the most famous Christmas events in the nation. The show began in 1932 and has been taking place in New York City ever since. Here is how to attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Don’t worry about dressing up for the Christmas Spectacular. The event is more of a tourist event than it is a formal event. You’ll want to be comfortable since you’ll be sitting down for roughly an hour and a half.
2. Arrive to Radio City Music Hall anywhere between an hour to 45 minutes before the Christmas Spectacular begins. Radio City Music Hall is beautiful, especially during the Christmas season. Chances are that you’re going to want to take pictures while inside. Also, there is a pre-performance where Christmas music is played that starts about ten minutes before the Christmas Spectacular begins. You don’t want to miss this.
3. Bring plenty of cash if you want to purchase any souvenirs. Anything that you buy while in Radio City Music Hall is going to be very expensive. Depending on what type of souvenir you want to bring back with you from the Christmas Spectacular, you could easily spend well over $100 in the two hours you’re there.
4. Be sure to take the free program that is handed out as you make your way to your seats. This program is a nice free souvenir and also has information about the Christmas Spectacular. The program contains a pair of 3-D glasses, which is vital for the second scene of the Christmas Spectacular, and a special light that you’ll need for the final scene.
5. Have no worries about taking pictures or video during the Christmas Spectacular. Technically, flash photography and taking videos is prohibited at Radio City Music Hall. However, this is not at all enforced. If you don’t believe me, just search for any videos of the Christmas Spectacular online. You’ll find more than your fair share.
6. Stay in your seat for awhile after the Christmas Spectacular ends. There will almost certainly be a full house at Radio City Music Hall, so there is no reason to rush out into the crowd. There will be Christmas music playing as the crowd exits, so sit back, enjoy the music and maybe even take some pictures of Radio City.
