Take the bus to New York City and See the Rockettes

Get in the mood for the Holidays! Take the bus to New York City and treat yourself to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes.  Since 1933, the Rockettes have been memorizing audiences with magical moves and holiday cheer. Be there, when the crowd stills and the lights dim over the misty back drop of the Northern Forest .  Feel the excitement as The Rockettes dressed as Santa's Reindeers enter the stage. Don't miss the wooden soldiers take the tumble in perfect precision.

The colors and sounds will delight your senses,as the magic of Santas Workshop comes to life. Come witness America's largest flying indoor LED screen ,which enhances the grand scale of the Great Stage measuring 144 feet long by 66 feet wide, including 3 elevators. Young and old will be delighted as Santa's workshop suddenly brims with activity.  Set your eyes on a 25 foot high shelf filled with life-size rag dolls.
What is a Christmas Spectacular without the tale of the first Christmas.  Listen to the story told with
pageantry and music brought to life with live sheep, mules and camels. 
And if I haven't convinced you yet .. then there is the 40 piece orchestra; movable skating rink and 150 singers and dancers.
This show is definitely worth a ride into New York City.  Take the bus from Cambridge, MA or Newton, MA and make this Holiday Season, a Season to remember.
