Radio City Music Hall has canceled the Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular for the first time in 87 years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

MSG Entertainment, which owns the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, announced Tuesday its decision to close the curtain on the 2020 festive show as infections of the deadly virus continue to surge across America.

The annual Spectacular, famous for its sparkling performances by the legendary Radio City Rockettes dance troupe, had been scheduled to run from November 6 to January 3 this year.

Maybe that’s all you noticed because that’s all you focused your eyes on :-)

The Rockettes’ curves aren’t the ones we want to flatten.

As long as the governors retain their self-anointed omnipotent power (even above God according to John Robers and the USSC), no live events, conventions, etc. can be planned as the tyrants have the unchallenged (by the federal government) power to shut it down at the 11th hour.

Whew! I won’t have to sit with grams anymore watching that - plus the DWTS new fiasco.

They had to be very close to first rehearsals.

that’s another thing i’ve attended the past 24 years. I figure there’s less than a .01% chance it happens.

Yeah just tear down everything, destroy the whole economy, just because you don’t like Trump...there’s a plan.

Maybe the Rockettes can challenge the Antifa Pukes to a Dance Off on 42nd Street? People would pay big money to see THAT! ;)

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Why didn’t they cancel it for the darned FLU that has more cases every year than COVID and more deaths?

Apparent junkies turn stretch of NYC’s Midtown into a shooting gallery

NY Post 7-28-2020

It’s the Great Black Tar Way.

A cluster of junkies has turned Broadway into a shooting gallery, injecting drugs unhampered in broad daylight and then shuffling around in a zonked-out stupor, seemingly oblivious to the Midtown bustle around them, The Post has learned.

If that wasn’t enough, the addicts are peppering the area with used syringes, turning individual planters on 40th Street and Broadway into mini needle parks.

“They’ve taken over the tables, blatantly using needles and shooting up heroin all day long,” said a local worker who asked that he only be identified as James. “There’s no police action, there’s no reach-out. There’s nobody preventing this, and you know we’ve had multiple calls to 311 but nobody really responds. It’s becoming a real problem.”

He called his own 311 calls “futile exercises.”

The Post spotted several of the spent needles dumped at the scene — and even caught one of the vagrants shooting up out in the open on Tuesday afternoon, with no one stepping in or saying a word.

NYC will be just like San Francisco pretty soon.

Safely and quietly evacuate any remaining republicans then cancel New York...good and hard.

[epluribus_2]

Can’t they just do it at a Home Depot? Or maybe have a joint black lives matter peaceful protest accompanied by the Rockettes with BLM on there tap shoes

I like ‘The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers’ when they all fall into one another at the end.

Amazing precision.

Seen the Rockettes performance at Radio City Music Hall in NYC a couple of times when we lived in CT. Later saw their touring group perform in Cincinnati. Attended a wedding in St. Louis back around 2003 and met an elderly lady whose claim to fame was she was one of the early Rockettes who went to NYC when the troupe moved there from STL in 1932.
