Rockettes’ Annual ‘Christmas Spectacular’ Canceled Due To Coronavirus
The Rockettes will not be performing this holiday season in New York City.
It was announced today (August 4) that the annual ‘Christmas Spectacular’ production has been canceled for 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
MSG Entertainment released a statement on Tuesday that said:
“We regret that the 2020 production of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes presented by Chase has been canceled due to continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are disappointed for everyone involved with the show, as well as for the many fans who make the Christmas Spectacular a cherished part of their holiday tradition. We look forward to welcoming audiences back for the 2021 production, which is on sale now. All tickets for the 2020 production will be automatically refunded at the point of purchase.”
This is the first time the show has been canceled since it debuted in 1933. Radio City’s ‘Christmas Spectacular’ was set to run from November 6 through January 2021.
