The Rockettes lit the Empire State Building red and green today in celebration of tonight's opening night of the 2015 RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR. BroadwayWorld has photos below!

Embraced by generations of families, the RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR is an awe-inspiring celebration of the holiday season. The 2015 production features dazzling Rockettes dance numbers, spectacular costumes and state-of-the-art technology. The RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR continues to be enhanced with fresh and dynamic content while preserving what has made the production a beloved holiday tradition.

The Christmas Spectacular recently introduced a new finale number called "Snow," which features GPS-enabled snowflakes. This was followed with the debut of the re-imagined "Rag Dolls," a classic dance number that originally debuted in 1940. Santa's enchanted workshop in the North Pole serves as the backdrop for this high-energy tap routine, featuring the Rockettes as rag dolls. The 2015 CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR will feature both of these performances, which take the Rockettes signature technique and athleticism to greater heights, and will join classic performances, including "Living Nativity," which takes audiences on an awe-inspiring journey, and "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," which sets the standard for the Rockettes style of precision dance.

The RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR will run now through January 3, 2016. Tickets are on sale now at radiocitychristmas.com or at the Radio City box office.
