The coronavirus pandemic has put the Rockettes on ice.
MSG Entertainment, which owns New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, announced Tuesday that the 2020 production of the venue’s annual Christmas Spectacular has been canceled due to uncertainty regarding the virus.
It’s the first time in the group’s 87-year history that it’s had to cancel the annual event. MSG will refund tickets already bought and is already promoting the 2021 version of the event.
“We regret that the 2020 production of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes presented by Chase has been canceled due to continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” the company said in a statement.
