The Rockettes perform during their Christmas Spectacular.

Christmas is coming early to Happy Valley this year. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular national tour, starring the world-famous Rock­ettes, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 and 1 and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at Bryce Jordan Center, University Park. “‘New York at Christmas’ brings a little bit of New York to every single city we go to,” said Traci Reszetlyo-Grimm, a Rockette who’s originally from Pittsburgh. The 1 p.m. performance has sold the most tickets so far, said Bernie Punt, marketing director for Bryce Jordan Center. Punt said the facility worked with Madison Square Garden to schedule the Rockettes’ stop around Penn State football — on Nov. 21, the Nittany Lions play at Michigan State University. “This is the same show they’ve been performing in New York City for over 70 years,” he said, “right in your own backyard.” This year, the tour will hit 31 cities; last year, the Rockettes toured 18. It’s the first time the show will appear in the area.
