5.0 out of 5 stars If You Love Christmas, You'll Love This CD !!, November 7, 2000

This great new CD features the soundtrack to one of the country's favorite shows. I've never seen this in New York City, but the Rockettes are touring with their show this year and are coming to my town. Having heard so much about the show from my friends over the years, I immediately ordered tickets. After listening to this CD, I can't wait to see the show. The CD features 11 tracks, ranging from Santa's Gonna Rock and Roll, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, and Parade Of The wooden Soldiers, to The Man With The Bag, Toyland Ball and The Nativity, a Christmas Carol medley. There's plenty on this CD to quickly put you in the holiday spirit. The orchestra, as expected, is great and there are over 30 songs in the 11 tracks. There's plenty of dancing and singing. A nice full color brochure is included with the CD providing some background information on the show, which began running in 1933 !! A very welcome treasure to everyone's CD collection. Get it and you'll enjoy it every year.

I can't say enough positive things about this CD. I have only purchased it last year and it has immediately become my new favorite Christmas album! The orchestra really brings to life more traditional holiday favorites while introducing some new songs that are DESTINED to become family classics. This album gets played from start to finish and then started right up again during the holidays! I also don't think you need to see the Christmas Spectacular to appreciate it. It's upbeat jingles and medleys will have you tapping your toes in your living room--though I will admit, after having seen the musical in person, my love of the CD skyrocketed becuase I now had a jolly Christmas image to associate with the tunes. Plus this CD is very reasonably priced for the kind of listening you'll get out of it--truly one of my favorite holiday compilations! Big time, Big Band, Merry Merry Christmas!

I saw the touring version of the Radio City Rockettes in 2002 and was hoping that this CD would allow me to relive the wonderful show. Unfortunately, on the CD there are many songs that were not in the show or were different versions of the songs. If you haven't seen the show - go - don't use this CD as a supplement. If you went to see the show - buy the CD there when it comes in town next. Perhaps they will have a more accurate CD.
