The very first Rockettes show was on December 21st, 1925 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The first 2025 Rockettes Christmas Spectacular show of this year was on November 6th at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.

Their last performance for this season is on January 4th, 2026. 

Ticket prices range anywhere from $90 to $125, but you can also find cheaper tickets from $50 to $70 with specific discounted prices.

Depending on where you want to sit and if you want premium seating those prices can cost up to $500.

The Rockettes can kick up to 650 times per show. The group practices six hours a day six days a week.

The show is 90 minutes long and doesn’t include an intermission. 

WJPS 12th grader Anika Narula said, “I think the Rockettes is a very famous and heartwarming show that many tourists come to see and I believe they share a very mystical story.” 

WJPS 12th grader Joseph Weir said, “I have been to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular once a long time ago with my family and I really enjoyed it. Maybe I will go again this year.”
