"In winter it's after dark that New York really comes alive and Times Square and the theatre district remain the epicentre of the lights and razzmatazz despite recent upheavals. And some shows like The Rockettes Christmas Extravaganza at Radio City Music Hall are as popular as at any time in their 75 year history."

"razzle-dazzle" (1889) which in turn came from
"dazzle" (15th c.) which means:
blenden, einschüchtern, verwirren; but also
beeindrucken,imponieren
Why not dazzle someone today by casually using "razzmatazz" in conversation :)
