Earlier this month I posted that my mom wanted to go see the Radio City Christmas show in St. Louis at the Fabulous Fox Theater. I wrote that I'd learned the world-famous Rockettes started out in St. Louis before moving to New York.
So this past weekend we took a road-trip. This family-oriented show included rousing song and dance numbers, colorful costumes and set designs. As our group ranged from eight to eighty-plus (literally), it had something for everyone.
My favorite eight-year-old sat mesmerized through the first act, her finger in her mouth and her eyes wide. Scenes included a unique version of The Nutcracker; instead of people all the characters were wearing teddy bear costumes. It was really adorable.
And the Rockettes did their famous Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. They were precise and their formations were flawless. I was impressed.
The show definitely set the mood for Christmas. I've been humming the songs all week. As the song, "We Need a Little Christmas" ran through my head once again, I had to look it up to see where it came from. It's from Mame.
If the show comes your way, take your family. You'll enjoy it, I promise.
