Rob Nelson reports on new drone technology in this year's Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- The "Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes" is unleashing new groundbreaking technology in this year's show, the first of its kind for a theater performance.

Intel mini drones -- 100 of them -- will create a magical holiday light show in the brand-new finale scene.

"Christmas Lights" uses choreographed movements to produce holiday-themed silhouettes over the Great Stage of Radio City.

The finale joins several of the production's beloved numbers, which will showcase new, state-of-the-art digital projections from Obscura Digital to combine next-level technology with awe-inspiring artistry.

The "Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes" will run from November 9 through January 1, 2019 at Radio City Music Hall.
