00:20Welcome to Radio City Music Hall.

00:30Hi, I'm Sidney Mesher.

00:35I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, and this is my sixth season as a Radio City Rocket.

00:41And here we are in the orchestra at Radio City Music Hall.

00:46My first time here, actually, was when I graduated college.

00:50I sat in these seats myself, and then when I received my diploma, I got to go up on the amazing stage.

00:56It's a full circle moment for me to be a Rocket performing on this stage.

01:01Every detail of Radio City really adds to the joy and experience of art in this show.

01:08There's so much detail relating back to costuming, performance, dance, music, details in the bathroom,

01:16the metal leaves that you might see on the door.

01:18It all pertains back to theater.

01:20Another fun detail is our carpet.

01:22This carpet is the singing ladies, and it's supposed to be individual women singing their own songs.

01:29There is a little bit of a debate.

01:31Our arches are meant to look like a sunset overlooking the water,

01:35and so people do think that the women might be fish.

01:39I think they do resemble underwater friends, but I do believe and think that they are women.

01:46This theater, in total, with all three mezzanines, holds over 6,000 seats.

01:53There is not a bad seat in the house, and I mean that genuinely.

01:56There's not an obstructed view.

01:58So anywhere you sit, you get such an incredible view of the stage.

02:02And I like to try sitting in different spots in the house so you can get a different view of the show.

02:08My favorite seat is right in the first row of the first mezzanine because you can see some of the formations from overhead,

02:15which we work so hard as Rockettes to make sure that they're very precise and very clean.

02:21So you can really appreciate them when you are from that above vantage point.

02:24And then you can also still see our faces, which is fun in our performance.

02:27I truly do perform differently, knowing that everyone can see.

02:34Specifically with our formations and things like that, our stage is so large,

02:39and there are 36 of us Rockettes on stage at a time.

02:42We work really hard to make sure that our lines are very clear, very straight,

02:47which we are also so well known for as Rockettes.

02:50One of my favorite parts of Radio City is the magnificent curtain that we have.

02:56This curtain is over two tons, so it is massive.

03:00When we start off the Christmas Spectacular, I actually am facing upstage,

03:04so I don't see the curtain rise. I can only hear it.

03:08I have chills when I think about that moment.

03:10The sound of the curtain rising is truly something I will never forget.

03:14It helps me get into that show mode, but I wish I could somehow record it and have that

03:19for the rest of my life because there is nothing like the sound of the curtain rising here at Radio City.

03:24There are many things that happen behind the scenes to bring the Christmas Spectacular together here at Radio City,

03:30and with that is a whole team of production,

03:33many masterminds working hard to make sure that the show works effortlessly,

03:37and one of those people is Jess. Let's go chat with her.

03:39I grew up in New York, but we actually never saw the show as a family,

03:47so the first time I ever saw it was I was 23 years old.

03:50It was a 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning, and I was with seven of my college roommates,

03:55and we sat in the third mess.

03:56An unbelievable experience, and I remember leaning forward like I was a child, just in wonder.

04:00And now that I'm part of it on a daily basis, it's just a dream come true.

04:04Radio City Music Hall opened in 1932 and was, and still is, the world's largest indoor theater.

04:10It has been restored over time to its original designs.

04:13The coves are actually really iconic to Radio City Music Hall,

04:17and they're both functional and beautiful.

04:19They actually hide 5,000 stage lights.

04:22So during the Christmas Spectacular, we actually have projections in a lot of different scenes.

04:26It could be a magical snow globe as you're whisked away to the North Pole,

04:29or the sights and scenes of a New York City skyline.

04:33This is our Wurlitzer organ, which is original to the building from 1932.

04:37There are 4,000 pipes hidden within the coves,

04:40and at various points during the Christmas Spectacular,

04:43the organist plays behind a curtain, and then the platform will come out,

04:46and the audience can see.

04:47So the stage that we're on is actually one floor below street level,

04:51and is an entire New York City block wide.

04:53The stage at Radio City Music Hall is actually made up of four different elevators

04:57that can go down 27 feet or above stage 13 feet.

05:01It's original to the building from 1932.

05:04During World War II, the government had agents stationed here

05:07as they were using similar technology for elevators on aircraft carriers,

05:11and they didn't want enemy spies to get the information.

05:13But for our purposes, we use it to get performers from different places, props,

05:17and to create some really special effects on stage.

05:20We think about the stage as one giant piece of grid paper.

05:22So there's 1,100 different markings on the stage,

05:25including numbers, solid lines, and dotted lines,

05:28where the Rockettes and the rest of the cast line up to be in proper formation.

05:32Another really cool feature of the stage at Radio City Music Hall

05:35is this massive turntable.

05:36We use it in various places during the show to create depth and special effects,

05:40and it's original to the building from 1932.

05:47We're heading back into the wings,

05:49which is where the actors and the Rockettes wait for their cues.

05:52We actually also, above us, have different places where we hold storage for scenic pieces,

05:56like Santa's sleigh and the double-decker bus.

05:59There's also an intricate pulley system that controls different curtains,

06:02and all of this is controlled by over 200 crew members.

06:06There's as much choreography happening backstage as there is on stage.

06:09So this is the control panel where the elevators that we just saw before are actually controlled from,

06:14and over here is the contour curtain,

06:16so you can see the arch of the curtain, and that is manually positioned.

06:19Even though it's 2025, and the Christmas Spectacular is delivering this amazing,

06:24over-the-top, technologically advanced show,

06:26everything on stage is still controlled from this panel, original to 1932.

06:31I'm really excited to hear the show this year,

06:32now that we've installed Sphere Immersive Sound.

06:34This is the same sound system installed in Sphere in Las Vegas.

06:38To do this, we had to install 7,000 speakers throughout the theater.

06:42We have singers, a live 36-person orchestra,

06:44and the Rockettes even have little microphones in each of their tap shoes.

06:48So sound is really important to the Christmas Spectacular.

06:57Hi, my name is Maya Addy.

06:59I grew up in Mesa, Arizona,

07:01and this is my fifth season as a Radio City Rocket.

07:04Come along with me as I show you the stage right quick change booth.

07:07So my first time coming to Radio City Music Hall

07:10was the fall of 2017, my freshman year of college.

07:15The Rockettes had been coming to my college for workshop classes

07:18for about two to three times each semester,

07:21and I had the opportunity to come see the show.

07:24It's crazy to think that I'm here now, five years later,

07:27doing the same show that inspired me.

07:29Our first number in the show is Sleigh Ride,

07:31and that's actually the only routine that we get dressed in our dressing rooms.

07:35And then the rest of the show, we change either in the quick change booth

07:39or stage level in the wings or below stage level.

07:44So this is one of the rooms where there could be 12 to 15 of us in here,

07:48changing from costume to costume.

07:50We have some changes that are as quick as 78 seconds.

07:53So as soon as we come into the room, we actually have our names lined up.

07:57It's usually by alphabetical order, and my last name being Addy, I'm first,

08:01which is super easy to find as soon as you walk into the room.

08:04This is our Parade of the Wooden Soldiers costume.

08:07It hasn't changed at all, basically, since its inception.

08:10Any rocket that's been a rocket has been able to perform in this numbers.

08:13It's kind of the connection point that we have

08:14between all of the rockets, past and present, which is really special.

08:18In this routine, we are toy soldiers.

08:21We don't have any bends in our arms or legs.

08:24And so even in the pants, as you see these stripes,

08:28we want to make sure that our fingers are lined up with the stripes.

08:30These pants are super stiff so that you don't see any bend.

08:34This costume is from our high-energy tap routine, 12 Days of Christmas,

08:39which is super exciting.

08:40I love this costume.

08:42We definitely wear it for events.

08:44It's a really cute costume that I think all of us would say

08:46is probably one of our favorites to wear.

08:48Dance of the Frost Fairies is our lyrical routine.

08:51And this costume is beautiful.

08:53It's designed by Greg Barnes.

08:55And there's six different designs and six different colors.

08:58It's one of the few moments on stage that we kind of feel like we have

09:01our own individual aspect that we can bring to the stage.

09:04And we actually have fairy drones that are flying high throughout the audience

09:07to create that winter wonderland feeling.

09:09The drones are actually designed to resemble our costumes that we're wearing on stage.

09:14So it feels like there's rockets out flying in the audience

09:17while you're also seeing rockets dancing on stage.

09:19Every now and then, in between a quick change,

09:21we'll actually run into our director, Julie Branham.

09:23Julie knows exactly the feeling that we have

09:26when we're backstage gearing up for our next routine

09:28because that was exactly what she did.

09:30So it's nice to have someone that can really understand

09:33what we're going through in that moment.

09:39I came to New York City from Des Moines, Iowa in 1979 for the very first time.

09:44My first night I ever spent in New York City was at Radio City Music Hall.

09:48I have never seen anything so magnificent in my life.

09:51Never did I know I would spend 38 years of my career working here.

09:55This year, 2025, marks 100 years of Rockettes.

09:59It's an amazing feat, and I expect it to continue on and on

10:02because they're such a remarkable group of women coming together to make magic.

10:07So the Rockettes were founded in 1925 by Russell Markert in St. Louis, Missouri.

10:11They moved to New York City and went to the Roxy Theater

10:14where they were known as the Roxyettes.

10:16And then in December 27, 1932, when the theater opened,

10:19they performed in that opening night show

10:21and now and forever have called their home Radio City Music Hall.

10:25The Rockettes are really more than just a kick line.

10:27They stand for certain things, and they fought hard in the 70s

10:30when they were actually going to demolish this beautiful place.

10:33Can you imagine?

10:33The Rockettes banded together with not only other dancers in the show,

10:36there was a ballet company at the time,

10:38but with the crew, the stagehands, the ushers,

10:41everybody that worked in this building,

10:42they actually got petition signs,

10:44they got the news to come watch some of the stunts they did

10:47to save this beautiful building and to save their home.

10:50Because of all these efforts, Radio City Music Hall in 1978

10:53was made a New York City landmark.

10:55I have to say, as I sit here now,

10:58I look and I, do I have the best office?

10:59I'm so lucky to work here.

11:01A lot of times I come in before other people are in,

11:04and I just sit in the theater quiet,

11:06think of new ideas,

11:07think of ways we can make the Rockettes look better than ever,

11:10think how we can make this beautiful theater look better than ever.

11:12It really has my heart in every way.

11:20Hi, I'm Bailey Harding.

11:22I'm from New Rochelle, New York,

11:23and this is my 14th season as a Radio City Rockette.

11:27So as you can see,

11:28we're here in the grand foyer at Radio City Music Hall,

11:31and this is the first moment our audience members

11:34will come into the theater

11:35and experience the magic of this building.

11:38I have such a fond memory of coming to Radio City,

11:41seven-year-old little girl,

11:43dance dreams big as the sky,

11:45and coming into this theater

11:47to just see the grand spectacle

11:49that is Radio City Music Hall.

11:51It left such an impression on me

11:53that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

11:55Radio City Music Hall

11:57always brings a sense of awe and wonderment

11:59to its audience members,

12:00but I think more specifically at Christmastime,

12:03there is this buzzing,

12:05this electricity of everyone anticipating

12:08to see the Rockettes

12:09and the Christmas spectacular.

12:10So to feel that tangible electricity

12:14from our audience members

12:15is so exciting to be a part of.

12:18During the holidays,

12:19we love to decorate the grand foyer

12:20to give it a little more extra Christmas cheer.

12:23Whenever I walk by,

12:24I can't help but to feel a little extra nostalgia

12:27because when I was a little girl,

12:29I came to see the Rockettes

12:31and I got a Rockette Barbie doll.

12:33It's still in the box to this day

12:34and it's so special to me.

12:36So when I look behind the table

12:37and I see these Rockette dolls,

12:39I can't help but to think

12:40about the next generation of little girls

12:42that are going to become Rockettes one day.

12:44The grand foyer has its own crazy rhythm

12:47and it's really held together by one guy

12:49and that's Clinton.

12:50I'm Clinton Neils

12:51and I'm the Senior Vice President

12:53and General Manager

12:54at Radio City Music Hall

12:55and Theater Operations.

12:56My first experience here

12:58at Radio City Music Hall

12:59was in 1990.

13:0117 years old,

13:02my first day on the job.

13:04On that first day when I was a cashier,

13:06not knowing 35 years later,

13:08I'd be here

13:09as the General Manager

13:11of Radio City Music Hall.

13:12Walking into the grand foyer,

13:14it seems overwhelming

13:16but it becomes very intimate

13:18once the crowd starts to come in.

13:20It's one of those things

13:21that you have to stop,

13:22which is actually sometimes an issue,

13:24where people stop at the doors

13:26because they can't believe

13:27what they're seeing in front of them.

13:28Stepping off the street

13:30and literally coming into another world.

13:31The grand foyer

13:33was designed in art deco form

13:35by Donald Deske.

13:36The chandeliers,

13:37when you walk in,

13:39are 29 feet in height,

13:40approximately 4,000 pounds.

13:42By Edward Caldwell,

13:44the carpet that's laid under your feet

13:45is actually depicted

13:47with six various instruments.

13:49Another focal point

13:50is the beautiful mural,

13:52Fountain of Youth,

13:53that's located over the grand stairs

13:55designed by Ezra Winter.

13:57Leading into preparing for Christmas,

13:58we decorate the hall

14:00throughout every crevice

14:02of the building

14:03from the front of house,

14:04the back of house,

14:05and obviously the seating area

14:06for our guests.

14:07The crystal tree,

14:08when you walk in,

14:09is approximately 35 feet in height

14:12and about 1,100 pounds.

14:14We have various crew members

14:15that over the course of two days

14:17assemble it together.

14:19Good thing about it is

14:20everything is numbered.

14:22So it's like a huge

14:23crystal jigsaw puzzle.

14:25So once all areas are decorated,

14:26it's really transformative.

14:28It really brings everybody

14:29into the spirit.

14:31There's definitely three

14:32frequently asked questions

14:34when people enter into the foyer.

14:36One, where's the restroom?

14:37Two, how do I get to my seat?

14:39And the third,

14:40can you please take my picture

14:42in front of this beautiful aesthetic?

14:44We never get tired of those questions

14:46being asked by our guests.

14:47It actually compliments us every time.

14:49Thanks so much for coming

14:58to Radio City Music Hall.

15:00We hope you enjoyed learning

15:01about our home.

15:03Looking forward to seeing you soon.

15:05Bye!

15:06Bye!
