Why So Many Performances?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but why are there so many performances put on of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular? It's a classic, yeah I get that. The cast puts on about 4 performances a day, and up to 6 in December, which I find very interesting. Do they rotate the Rockettes, singers, and actors each show due to putting on so many a day or how does that work? Since the venue is huge, people are at work and in school during the weekday, and I wouldn't think that tourists would visit NY during November for "Christmas cheer?", is the attendance any good? Specifically the morning and early afternoon performances during the weekdays. Sounds stupid to ask but, just curious.

Why do they call it "Radio City" if it isn't really a city?

They usually do so many to accommodate for everyone, some people are very busy during the day so they have a very early and very late one. Even in the latest and earliest shows they have very packed crowds. They have to groups of dancers as well. The morning group, who does the first half, and the evening group who does the second half. Each group has a day off in the week where the other group will perform all the shows instead of half.

i heard the ACLU is suing to change the name to the Radio City Holiday Spectacular. The part of Jesus will now be played by Frosty the Snowman

i gotta think this makes tons of money, or they wouldnt do so many shows

"Why do they call it 'Radio City' if it's not a city?"
