There are guided tours of its facilities with prices ranging between $ 10 and $ 18.50, but we prefer to enter this legendary theater, a place where big concerts have taken place throughout history and where we meet another goal of our trip, go to a musical in the city of musicals.
What other music could be better than seeing the longest-running show on stage Yorkers the day of thanksgiving in the year of its 75 th anniversary? For without doubt the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, so we went to Times Square in search of entries in the TKTS booth, where you can get tickets for that day in almost any Broadway show discounts of up to 50%.
is very interesting to try out the entries here, because to us even at a discount We went for $ 52.50.
After taking the tickets, we go to Radio City to wait in line, which oddly enough will quickly disappear, and they're nearly 6000 seats that are on the inside.
The first impression when you walk is amazing, you're a huge stage shaped sunset, many seats and 2 or 3 plants with enough capacity amphitheaters, and all tickets sold.
The lights go out and start the show begins to play music and the scene suddenly opens and looks like up a platform with full orchestra.
When the curtain rises, a huge movie screen covers the entire back of the stage, and you know it's a movie screen because they're sitting in a theater, because the quality with which they appear landscapes, places and scenery to throughout the show is simply spectacular (how come there's the Radio City Christmas Spectacular ?)
The Rockettes, a perfectly synchronized group of girls who are the soul of the show make an appearance on stage pulling the sled Santa Claus, who comes out for the city of New York.
Soon after, see a 3D movie which shows Santa's journey from the North Pole to New York, where he displayed some of the most famous monuments like the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State to reach its destination, the Radio City Music Hall, when the film ends 3D and continues the show on stage.
At this point begins the story around which turn the rest of the show, two brothers who hope Christmas differently. The little sister has not lost the illusion of Christmas, while his older brother into question the existence of Christmas and Santa Claus himself.
appears under the Christmas tree is piled toys that come alive with music background Nutcracker.

The next scene takes us to the door of Radio City, where we will take a bus tour that will give us a tour of some of the most tourist areas ...
through the skating rink in Central Park ...
and ending in Times Square, where the Rockettes give us another of their perfect choreography.
After that, the story moves to the North Pole, where Santa will teach children the place where all toys are manufactured in one of the most spectacular numbers.
The show ends with a live nativity scene, which are slowly getting all the same components to form the image that we all know the Nativity scene.
90 minutes have passed and we get the corresponding picture to capture the moment and place for a few hours we have been transported at this stage of our childhood.
Before leaving, give a tour of the huge lobby that gives evidence of the grandeur of the theater that houses behind.
Once in the street before we left, we take a last look at one of the most important theaters in the world who have performed many of the largest, such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Cosby, José Carreras, Ray Charles, BB King and Liza Minnelli.
