Band Returns to Radio City

2005_11_rockettes.jpgAfter 15 days of striking against Radio City Music Hall, Radio City and the American Federation of Musicians reached an agreement that will bring the live music back to the Music Hall tonight. Mayor Bloomberg's negotiator, Frank Macchiarola, helped the two sides reach an agreement that affected the first two weeks of the Christmas Spectacular. Alas, there will be ladies kicking to live music for all to see this holiday season! We're not sure if the giant inflatable rat has been at Radio City for the whole strike, but no more! Wanna know a dirty little Gothamist secret? We've actually never seen the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Are we missing anything?

Yes! you are missing much if you don't at least once in your life go see the Radio City Show. I saw it as a child, then years later took my niece and nephew to see it and a few yrs. ago saw it with my godchild. Seeing the show through her eyes was magnificent. She barely blinked and was on the edge of her seat for the whole show. It's worth the money and will put any bah humbug in the season's spitit.

fair enough. i just can't imagine dealing with all the tourists. are there a lot of babies and kids too?

the audience is made up, in my humble opinion, as someone who went year after year after year, 85% tourists/children.

go at your own risk.

"Alas, there will be ladies kicking to live music for all to see this holiday season!"

"Alas"? Is it that much of a bummer? I suspect the appropriate exclamation here might be more along the lines of "Huzzah!"
