The holiday season is to Broadway and Off-Broadway what Black Friday is to retail: the moment when audiences flood in, families plan outings en masse, and producers hope that box-office receipts can single-handedly balance the year's budget. Shows built around nostalgia, spectacle, or the holidays themselves (i.e. A Christmas Carol, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, The Nutcracker) tend to dominate.
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is extra special this holiday season as the Rockettes are celebrating their 100th anniversary.

Whether you're a sucker for the oversized rodents of The Nutcracker or just looking for an appropriate show for the entire family, this season's lineup has you covered.
