Many of you already saw it on Instagram but I need to go into further detail; it warrants it. It's a white chocolate strawberry cheesecake creole style. Creole style does not mean it has spicy seasoning. It's got a kind of whipped, mousse texture and is not baked like the traditional New York style cheesecake. It was crazy good. The Cobb Centre was just around the corner so we had plenty of time to park and visit the restroom before finding our balcony seats. Mom got us really great seats.
We took a few pictures before the show because we knew photography would be prohibited.
The show was really fantastic. They did ten numbers and there was lots of dancing (high kicks in just about every number) and singing, lovely costumes and props. My favorite numbers included the opening number with the dancers dressed up like reindeer; their rendition of The Nutcracker; and the toy soldier routine. Here's a great video of the toy soldier number.
If you didn't have the holiday spirit before going to see the show then you would certainly have it after. I would have to say that my dad and Jeff would rather run a marathon than sit through that show so it's a good thing they did not attend. Many years ago I went to New York with some high school friends and we saw the Rockettes rehearsing. It wasn't on stage but rather in their studio. It was a really fun experience. My grandmother has always been a huge fan of dancing (including the Rockettes) and Christmas so this show was a nice way for us to remember her. Christmas time is almost here and I'm getting excited!

wow, Erin. You managed to save the memory for us. That was a great experience. I just showed your Father the toy soldier routine and he liked it. I am sure your Grandma Jessie was watching with us.
Drooling over the cheesecake. Good recap!
