The Radio City Rocketts, currently rehearsing their iconic precision choreography for this year's Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, invited press into the rehearsal room for a sneak peek at the upcoming holiday show October 19.
The Christmas Spectacular, an annual holiday staple for New York City, opens November 18 at Radio City Music Hall.
The newly reimagined “Dance of the Frost Fairies” centers on the whimsical frost fairies who emerge during magical first snowfall of every season. In this scene, the Rockettes become winged frost fairies, performing alongside fairy drones which dance above the audience, turning Radio City into a magical winter wonderland.
The number’s costume features six different designs and six different colors, making for 36 different costumes that highlight the individuality of the Rockettes. The costumes will also feature custom fairy wings designed to work with the athletic and complex choreography in the number.
