"It’s actually a two-hour live show of Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves," Sund says. "The show stars the Rockettes. There’s singing, dancing, tap, jazz…we have reindeer and snow on stage. It’s really incredible."

The Radio City Rockettes perform more than 300 leg kicks in every show. Rockette Miki Berg is from Elk River, Minnesota and says it’s a thrill to be part of such a popular, long-running show. "It has been such a long-time tradition," Berg says, "it’s been going since 1925. Everything we do is so precise and classy, and I think the audience just loves to see that." Tickets cost $35.50 or $64.50.
