In 1956, Marion learns that being a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall is much more demanding than she imagined. When a bomb explodes in the theater, Marion urges the police to try a new technique: psychological profiling. As she gets caught up in the investigation, Marion realizes that she might be putting herself and those she loves at terrifying risk.
With a cutesy yet predictable plot, The Spectacular had an intriguing storyline about the Rockettes that keeps you engaged. Unfortunately, the writing was disappointing, constantly overexplaining backstories and telling the story instead of showing. Combine lackluster writing with uneven pacing, and The Spectacular was just an okay read.
