WHAT: |
“The Comcast Holiday Spectacular 2012” debuts Thanksgiving Day at 10:00 a.m., marking the fifth year it will dazzle and delight audiences throughout the holiday season. A new “Snowman Symphony” helps strike up the orchestra and kick-off the show this year. Favorite scenes from The Nutcracker, beautifully performed by the renowned Pennsylvania Ballet, a magical sleigh ride through the snow covered Pennsylvania countryside, a world-class 1940s swing-style dance of Jingle Bell Rock featuring Broadway stars, the majestic sounds of a 64-piece orchestra, the harmony of the Commonwealth Youth Choir’s Keystone State Boychoir and Pennsylvania Girlchoir, and more, will delight people of all ages. | |
| The free Comcast Holiday Spectacular has quickly become a “must see” Philadelphia holiday tradition. Since its debut in 2008, more than a half million people have seen the 15-minute show. Full of stunning original holiday imagery and music and created by using cutting-edge technology, it appears on the 83’ x 25’ Comcast Experience video wall in the Comcast Center lobby, which is the world’s largest four-millimeter LED screen with incredible resolution that’s five times that of an HDTV. | ||
| Children of all ages will receive a free waterless temporary “Snowman Symphony” tattoo that when displayed will be valid for a one-time “tasty treat” at either Termini Brothers Bakery or Di Bruno Bros., located in The Market & Shops on the concourse level of Comcast Center during the show’s run through New Year’s Day 2013. | ||
| Visitors are also encouraged to use #spectacular to share their holiday greetings and photos during their Comcast Holiday Spectacular experience. | ||
|
