The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular

The Rockettes are a group of women who are really flexible and basically kick their legs in the air. The performance they put on on Friday night at the Target Center, Minneapolis, MN was very entertaining and wowed the whole audience, from the girls doing their regular act to them dressing up as overgrown bears, dolls, and Santas.

To me, this event was a great experience because I have never seen anything like it. This type of event attracted a lot of people of all ages because it’s made for everybody to see and enjoy. If I had another chance, I would definitely see it again. The part that really freaked me out though, was when all of those Santas started popping out from every angle of the stage - they put down this big screen that kind of showed a bunch of more Santas doing the same thing (the ones on the screen were not real) and it looked like there were millions of those little suckers.

The kids at this event were laughing the whole way through. You can tell the Rockettes do what they do for the fun of being in the spotlight and that’s a good thing to me because they have the ability to entertain people of all ages. They are good at what they do and they don't get stage fright. They kept a smile on the whole time like they enjoyed the performance that they put on also.
The only downfall about this concert/event was that for about five-ten minutes everything shut down because of technical difficulties. They should have checked everything before the show started, but the performance made up for it because of the different themes they portrayed and also the costumes they had to perform in. There were about three or four different themes that gave kids and adults faith about Christmas. Your special toy picks you, making your wish come true, giving kids a new way too look at the stories in the Bible.
