Our guide to the best shows, theater productions on Broadway and Off, and the best concerts in New York this Christmas.
The holiday season in New York is a wonderful time to enjoy saccharine festive treats, like the Radio City Christmas Spectacular or a Broadway musical like Elf. It's also a time of year that's ripe for some bawdy satire. Thankfully, there are plenty of options for whichever kind of Christmas show you're interested in. Take Grandma to see the Rockettes, but definitely leave her at home for some of the more risqué productions. Our critics have also weighed in with essential cultural highlights for enlightened audiences, including New York City Ballet's 1954 classic George Balanchine's The Nutcracker and Isaac Mizrahi in Peter and the Wolf at the Guggenheim.
