The Rockettes.
At Thanksgiving, my family came to visit me in NYC. My mom had scored tickets to The Rockettes Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall, and, although I was cynical (a first, because I am the most optimistic person you could ever hope to meet. In fact, I've been know to bring sunshine where there is darkness, and laughter where there is nothing but sorrow...) I must admit it was an awesome spectacle.
Aside from seeing 72 legs gyrate in perfect unison, they give you 3D glasses, and there's this cool 3D video projection of Santa's sleigh tearing it up through the mean streets of the city. The Rockettes did like 6 different numbers with different scenes, themes and costumes, most notably an outstanding toy solider and sight-seeing bus routine. Streamers and confetti showered the audience, and a pair of young brothers (not these ones) from the School of Hard Knocks discovered the true meaning of Christmas.
In fact, it was so intense I became emotional and almost started crying like a little baby. WTF?
