People of All Ages Experience the Magic of the Holidays with
One-of-a-Kind Imagery and Sounds on The Comcast Experience Video Wall
The lobby of Comcast Center was filled with holiday cheer today as
Comcast and Liberty Property Trust unveiled the newest holiday tradition
in Philadelphia: “The Comcast Holiday Spectacular.” This 15-minute show,
full of stunning original holiday imagery, music and more, will be shown
on The Comcast Experience video wall at the top of each hour from
Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day.
“Our vision was to create a 21st century experience that
captures the spirit of the holidays for the Philadelphia community,
local families, and visitors to enjoy for free throughout the holiday
season,” said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO, Comcast Corporation.
“The Comcast Holiday Spectacular is a gift to the greater Philadelphia
community that we hope will bring decades of joy and entertainment to
anyone who views it.”
The Comcast Experience is the world’s largest 4 mm LED video wall with
10-million pixels of clarity. It was introduced in June of this year at
the opening of Comcast Center, and since then it has become a major
Philadelphia tourist attraction, entertaining thousands of visitors with
beautiful artistic displays and amazing imagery.
From scenes from The Nutcracker, to a fantastic sleigh ride through snow
covered rural Pennsylvania into downtown Philadelphia, from the holiday
sounds of a 64-piece orchestra, to the harmony of the Commonwealth Youth
Choir’s Keystone State Boychoir and Pennsylvania Girlchoir, The Comcast
Holiday Spectacular is sure to delight people of all ages.
“Comcast Center lends itself like no other location in the city to
hosting a new holiday show,” said John Gattuso, Senior Vice President,
Liberty Property Trust. “This screen and building were designed to draw
in the public, from commuters on the subways to tourists visiting our
city, and it is satisfying for all of us involved in its development to
see it embraced by people of all walks of life.”
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter commented, “Comcast Center is the kind
of building that comes along very rarely for a city – it engages,
entertains, and gives back to the community.
