Rockettes kick off ticket sales for Nutter show
A contingent of Rockettes who flew into Dayton on Sunday, Sept. 14, to publicize the local premiere of their famed “Radio City Christmas Spectacular” felt like they were flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
The legendary and leggy dancers were in a small prop-engine plane that landed during the height of the windstorm.
“It was a little bumpy after we came through the clouds,” said dancer and self-described nervous flyer Anna Richardson, who grew up in Westerville, Ohio.
During one scene in the show, which will be presented twice on Nov. 26 at Wright State University’s Nutter Center, the Rockettes make like reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh.
“Our antlers light up,” Richardson said during a press conference on Monday, Sept. 15. She was resplendent in red velvet jacket with white faux fur trim, glittery earrings, necklace and a headpiece topped with a red bow.
Presented for 75 years at Radio City Music Hall, the extravaganza is taking to the road in a new arena-sized version for the the first time. Dayton is one of 18 cities on the schedule that begins in Minneapolis and ends in Houston. There will also be performances in Cincinnati.
Single tickets tickets went on sale Monday, Sept. 15.
HOW TO GO What: “Radio City Christmas Spectacular.” When: 4 and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 26. Where: Wright State University’s Nutter Center. Tickets: $47-$67. Call: (937) 775-4789 or Ticketmaster.
