The Statement:
We regret that we are unable to the Christmas Spectacular this season due to the increasing challenges from the pandemic.

We had hoped we could make it throught the season and are honored to have hosted hundreds of thousands of fans at more than 100 shows over the last seven weeks. We have loved bringing back this cherished tradition that helps usher in the holiday season in New York City and look forward to welcoming fans back to Radio City Music Hall in 2022.

All tickets for impacted shows will be fully refunded at the point of purchase.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: While this update saddens me it doesn’t really surprise me because just up a few avenues, a number of the most popular Broadway performances were going “dark” for the evening or for several days based on reported cases of the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus. When you hear across the wire that “Hamilton”, “Harry Potter”, “Wicked”, Tina”, “Jagged Little Pill” and more are shutting it down for a brief bit you are reminded that we surely have a ways to go in this fight. I do some work with safety protocols on sets and in rehearsal spaces as well and cannot emphasize enough that you must be smart with yourself and your health. This isn’t a joke, hoax or mind-control of any kind. Please be safe out there my friends, I haven’t seen so many of you in person in too long a time and I look forward to doing that again. Right now I will wave from a distance and hand out non-touching high fives from afar while masked up. I’m not kidding. I am sad that I wasn’t able to witness the Christmas Spectacular this season either as I have not gone in quite some time. By the way, I will be editing the calendar to reflect the cancelled dates. I do NOT list every single day performances just a single one to keep it easy to observe. See you next time.
