Two-time Drama Desk Award winner Laura Benanti will star in New York Spring Spectacular, a production that will costar the Rockettes and run at Radio City Music Hall from March 12-May 3.

Benanti will play the lead female role of Jenna, a billionaire and CEO of her own company, who just purchased an NYC tour company that she plans to take virtual. When Bernie, a tour guide with the company, finds out that he'll be out of a job, he takes her on a tour of the Big Apple that she'll never forget.

Full casting will be announced at a later date. The production will also feature the voice of Tony winner Whoopi Goldberg as the Statue of Liberty.

New York Spring Spectacular features state-of-the-art technology, one-of-a-kind puppetry, a book by Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews), and direction and choreography for the Rockettes by Tony winner Warren Carlyle (After Midnight). MSG Entertainment produces with Weinstein Live Entertainment. Tony winner Diane Paulus (Finding Neverland) and her husband, producer Randy Weiner, serve as cocreative directors. Mia Michaels will choreograph the show's opening number.
