I am actually writing this upon the request of my wife. I was her second choice for her date on this evening; her cousin was unable to attend. Both of these women have wanted to see the Rockettes for as long as they can remember. They are now in their mid 60's and have never had the chance until now. So, here I am being dragged, kicking and scratching all the way. What I experienced was a performance nothing short of amazing! The costumes, the lighting, the precision, the graphics, the synchronization, the timing, the stunning figures . . . Whoa! When those ladies danced as wooden soldiers they were so precise they appeared to be computer graphic animations. Even though the video projection screen was huge the resolution was extremely fine. The video and the real time dancing was coordinated and totally seamless. My wife hopes that the show will return again; her cousin really missed out.
