The month of December is always big business for Broadway shows and local NYC events thanks to the onslaught of holiday tourists. Here are some of the listings and prices Hallmark Tickets has to offer for New York City:

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Celebrating their 75^th year at Radio City Music Hall, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular continues to dazzle audiences with their stunning Christmas extravaganza.

Spring Awakening

This Tony Award winning Broadway musical is based on an 1890's play written by Frank Wedekind and is aimed at the young at heart. Spring Awakening follows German students whose budding sexuality combined with the censorship and modesty of the 1800's spawn morality crises, experimentation and even unwed pregnancy, issues still fresh and controversial one-hundred years later and is guaranteed to spice up your holiday season.

Spring Awakening plays throughout December except for Mondays. Hallmark sells tickets ranging from $70 to $360 HERE.

The Color Purple

Another popular Broadway show is The Color Purple adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Alice Walker and presented by Oprah Winfrey, The color purple is a tear-jerker (both happy and sad tears) about Celie, a young black woman who struggles with rape, family, loss and love as she tries to find her own voice in the deep south between 1909 and 1949. 2004 American idol winner Fantasia stars as Miss Celie.
