On Tuesday night, the boyfriend and I headed to Durham to meet the family and go see the Rockettes perform the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at DPAC!
My family went to the show at Radio City Music Hall in NYC when I was a junior in college, and we all loved, loved, loved it, so when I found out they were coming to the Triangle, I knew I needed to go!
While seeing the show at DPAC isn't quite the same experience as being at Radio City, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am so glad that we went. We had great seats, in the first level, and seeing a show at DPAC is always a good experience. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've seen there.
The Rockettes were, of course, nothing short of amazing! There were a few scenes I remember well from the NYC trip. The Nutcracker scene is one...
the double decker bus is another...
and of course, the multiplying Santa's.
The Santa scene is the one I remember best from Radio City, and I remember really not being able to tell which were the actual Rockettes, and which were mirror images. DPAC used a movie screen instead of mirrors, so it was a little easier to tell who was the real deal, but still a great scene. I thought the whole show was great, and even though it was 80 degrees outside (crazy North Carolina weather) the Nativity Scenes and Christmas carols definitely started to get me in the holiday spirit!
I'm so glad I had the chance to see the Rockettes again--I think they are worth seeing over and over and over again! If you ever get the chance to see them, jump on it!
