Rocking The Holidays With The Radio City Rockettes
WATCH as the Rockettes put a twinkle in the eyes of their fans in Woodbridge that almost outshines their festive costumes.
Christmas has arrived early at Radio City Music Hall in New York, where the annual Christmas Spectacular opened last weekend.
As a preview to the show that draws thousands of fans of the famed Rockettes, members of the dance troupe took a tour of Patch towns in New Jersey on Sept. 30 to visit with fans young and old at Holmdel Park, with patrons at the Middletown Township Public Library and at with the members of Girl Scout Troop 83545 in Woodbridge.
In Woodbridge, where Katie Hamrah and Maranda LeBar were greeted with banners and posters and lots of questions, the glitz of their costumes and the speed with which they have to change captivated the youngsters of the troop as well as Troop Leader Tina Pinto.
“You made our week,” she told the dancers at the end of their visit. “You made my Christmas!”
Their visits were videotaped and just in time for the start of the holiday season, we’re sharing a video of the dancers meeting their admiring fans.
As you’ll see in the video, they had a blast -- have a look and see if you recognize any of your friends.
Performances of the 2015 Radio City Christmas Spectacular continue through Jan. 3, at Radio City Music Hall. Purchase your tickets by clicking here.
