Warren Carlyle & Diane Paulus Tapped to Create The Rockettes' New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City

The Rockettes will high-kick their way through the spring! New York Spring Spectacular, a new show featuring the iconic New York dance troupe, will celebrate the charm of the Big Apple. The production will be directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, with Diane Paulus and Randy Weiner as co-creative directors. Joshua Harmon will pen the script. Performances will run from March 12, 2015 through May 3 at Radio City Music Hall. Opening night is set for March 26.

New York Spring Spectacular will be produced by MSG Entertainment and The Weinstein Company (which is working with Paulus on Finding Neverland). The show will include Rockette dance routines reworked from Heart and Lights, which canceled its premiere earlier this year. In addition to the iconic moves of the Rockettes, the new production will feature puppetry and 3D special effects.

The show tells the story of three New Yorkers: an old-fashioned NYC tour guide, a techie who wants to turn the tours into a virtual reality wonderland and a determined young man with a secret agenda of his own. Set to a score of original tunes and classic hits, the three change each other’s lives in unexpected ways and learn that the charm of the Big Apple is timeless.
