Review by: Auntie Claus, Dec 19, 2011 |
| What an absolute disappointment this show was. Out of the six people in our group, there was only one person who was touched, and that was because he had never seen it before, and becomes easily emotional. The rest of us were very disappointed. What happened to that beautiful production of the past that we so loved. This was like going to a dance recital, and not a good one at that. Is it monetary difficulties or new management that has caused ... read more it to go so downhill? The Rockettes are still great, but everything else has been cheapened and watered down. I truly understand that change is sometimes needed to keep things fresh and the audience returning, but "good" change. All the charm and the spirit of Christmas has been taken away. |

Disappointing Review by: Ames, Dec 9, 2011 |
| I too was very disappointed in the show compared to last year. They took out a lot of great things and added the ridiculous video game scene and too much dialogue with very limited Christmas songs. Last year I came out feeling the spirit this year I do not. |

Christmas show takes a step back. Review by: mrpep, Dec 7, 2011 |
| This is a show that we have brought our family too for many years, and although we love the show it was kind of lacking this year, I think the video game piece really didn't work. I realize they have to freshen up the show for new generations but this didn't seem to fit. They took out the Raggy Ann doll piece with the Rockettes which was a great piece. The Rockettes are fabulous always and I wish they would return the show to what it was 5 years ... read more ago. All the Santas dancing was even changed and that was sad also. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars when last year it was a 5 star show, but we will still go next year. And the Nativity scene was also paired down. |

Why don't they also put the chase logo over the nativity. Review by: timwct, Nov 23, 2011 |
| Extremely disappointing. I saw the 11/22/11 performance and after seeing over 20 wonderful christmas shows over the years was horrified what they did to this show. From disgusting and shameless product placements of Chase and New York Life Logo in the video portions of the production to a new number that kills the pace of the show, a 3-d video game. The show never recovered from that point on. It brought the show's pace to a screeching halt. How ... read more sad. Don't waste your money on this years (2011) production. |

INCREDIBLE! Review by: Pat, Dec 2, 2008 |
| It is the best holiday show of the year. The scenes are breathtakingly beautiful, the singing and dancing are spectacular, and the nativity scene at the end is the icing on the cake. You will not regret seeing this show. |

Review by: bostonterrier, Nov 10, 2008 |
| A friend and I saw this yesterday and it was awesome. There are some fun 3-D effects, and the Rockettes are fabulous, as usual. Great singing and dancing throughout, and I loved the ending. You will leave this experience with the Christmas spirit! |
