The Madison Square Garden Company has announced today that the 2017 production of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, has undergone a complete technological overhaul. The production has been enhanced with updated technology including a brand-new 8K LED wall and digital projections that will extend to all eight of Radio City Music Hall's proscenium arches.

The new content for both the projections and the LED wall was created by cutting-edge design studio Obscura Digital. Additionally, returning this year as designers for several of the Christmas Spectacular's iconic scenes is batwin robin productions, a New York-based multimedia design studio that has re-created and enhanced existing video projection and LED content to utilize Radio City's new projection system.

"Fans will be awed by the updated technology in this year's Christmas Spectacular," said Larry Sedwick, senior vice president of production, the Madison Square Garden Company, in a statement. "We’ve expanded upon the existing projections to create a wholly immersive experience for our fans from the first row to the third mezzanine. It’s truly the most immersive theatergoing experience available in New York and beyond."

The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes will run November 10-January 1 at Radio City Music Hall.
