In 2008, the Arena tour debuted to rave reviews in 18 cities with the launch of the biggest production in the show’s 77 year history and redefined family entertainment in an Arena setting. Due to overwhelming success, this year the tour will expand to 30 cities across North America making it the most cities the Christmas Spectacular has ever toured in one season.

The Arena production was specifically designed for large-scale venues and replicates the grandeur of the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall on an entirely different scale. Audiences are taken on a theatrical journey that the entire family can enjoy together. Children thrill as Santa takes the audience on a magical sleigh ride to the North Pole, while parents marvel at the unparalleled precision dance of the Rockettes.

“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,” said Jonathan Hochwald, executive vice president, Productions, MSG Entertainment. “We are thrilled to build upon last year’s success and expand this extraordinary tour to more cities than ever before. We look forward to bringing the spirit and warmth of our holiday production to more people than ever with the largest traveling Christmas celebration ever created.”

The Arena 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 allow 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 Spectacular’s magical experience.
