As the final round of celebrations for my wife’s birthday she had expressed an interest in seeing the “NY Spring Spectacular” at Radio City Music Hall – Starring Laura Benanti and Derek Hough. My wife is a fan of “Dancing with the Stars” and apparently Mr. Hough has played a noteworthy role in this show (personally I’d never heard of him). Also featured of course were the famous Rockettes.

After 30 plus years in New York this is the first time I’ve been to Radio City Music Hall. The auditorium is certainly spectacular and the show itself was pleasant enough for what it was: essentially a travel guide to NY City told in song and dance. The stars were certainly talented and the sets were magnificent. My wife thoroughly enjoyed it. I tend to prefer shows, which are rather “meatier”: e.g. anything by Stephen Sondheim. It was definitely good value for money.
