MSG’s Radio City Christmas Spectacular Sees Highest Attendance in 25 years At 1.2 Million

Madison Square Garden Entertainment announced today that its long-running Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes was the production’s highest-attended season in 25 years, with more than 1.2 million tickets sold across 216 performances at the Midtown Manhattan landmark theater. 

“This milestone Christmas Spectacular season is a testament to the unique talent and cultural resonance of the Rockettes that has endured for 100 years,” said Jessica Tuttle, Executive Vice President, Productions at MSG Entertainment. “Propelled by the Rockettes and their universal appeal, the Christmas Spectacular continues to be an inspiring and uplifting holiday tradition for people across the globe – reinforcing that the powerful combination of live performance, sisterhood, and joy transcends generations.” 

Guests from all 50 states and 125 countries attended the 2025 Christmas Spectacular, according to the announcement. The 2025 production opened Nov. 6 and closed Jan. 5. 

The Rockettes 100th anniversary and 2025 Christmas Spectacular were celebrated across New York City and around the world via social media, with audiences getting a peek into the dance company’s history via a pre-show video before every performance, and access to costume exhibits and activations that will remain on display for guests attending the Radio City Music Hall Tour Experience.

In partnership with the city, 6th Ave between 50th and 51st Streets outside Radio City’s marquee was renamed “Rockettes Way” for a portion of the show’s run, and the Rockettes partnered with landmark institutions including Empire State Building, the Museum of Broadway, Serendipity 3, Magnolia Bakery and mothers to create custom exhibits, treats and merchandise. The Rockettes also performed as part of Saks Fifth Avenue’s holiday window unveiling and light show, and were featured in two of the store’s iconic windows.
