In addition to impressive dance routines, elaborate costumes and sets, and of course, lots-o-legs, the 75th anniversary Christmas Spectacular boasts a brand-new number called “New York at Christmas,” where the world-famous Rockettes board an almost full-size double-decker bus and whiz past a kinetic montage of landmarks in a thrilling tour of New York during the holiday season.
