Frank Erwin Center | Press Releases

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Austin will experience Christmas like never before as Madison Square Garden Entertainment (MSGE) brings the Frank Erwin Center the biggest production ever of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the world famous Rockettes, in the show’s 76-year history. This year marks the debut of a whole new Christmas Spectacular, re-imagined specifically for large-scale venues and playing to 18 cities across the country. Sponsored by Capital One, this production redefines family entertainment in an arena setting, as this brand new show replicates the magic of the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall on an entirely different scale, including all the elements of the 75th celebratory edition, which debuted to critical acclaim and dazzled national audiences during its televised NBC special last year. The beloved holiday show will run at the Frank Erwin Center December 30-31 and tickets go on sale Monday, September 29 at noon.

“The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is the #1 live holiday production in the world and has been a cherished part of holiday family traditions for generations. Straight from the great stage of Radio City Music Hall, the scope and scale of this new production of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular is going to raise the bar for live family entertainment,” said Jonathan Hochwald, executive vice president, Productions, MSG Entertainment. “We look forward to bringing the spirit and warmth of our holiday production to more people than ever before with the largest traveling Christmas celebration ever created.”

The production is enhanced by an immense LED screen that transports the audience from a wintry landscape to Times Square to Santa’s Workshop right before their very eyes. The larger than life sets and awe-inspiring special effects, such as Santa flying out into the audience as snow falls upon the crowd, allows families to connect with both the intimacy and grandness of the Christmas Spectacular as they are immersed in the warmth and grandeur of the holiday spirit. From the moment guests settle into their seats, the audience becomes part of the Christmas Spectacular’s magical experience.

Traditional fan-favorites like “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” which continues to set the standard as the signature Rockette number for precision performance, and the “Living Nativity” remain a vital part of the show’s core. And the Rockettes will undoubtedly bring the audience to their feet with a Rockette finale “Let Christmas Shine,” which honors and celebrates the Rockettes as the stars of the show.
