Rockefeller Plaza will be going in only One Direction this morning — nuts — as the UK boy band takes the stage for a live performance there.
The wildly popular "What Makes You Beautiful" singers are set to perform on the "Today" show — prompting hundreds of their young female fans to line up since as long ago as Thursday to catch a glimpse of the teen heartthrobs.
"My hips have been hurting because I was [sitting] on the ground so long, but you got to do what you got to do," said Christa Guzman, 12, of Fairfield, Conn., who traveled to Manhattan with her 14-year-old sister and dad Sunday night to get in line.

So many teeny-boppers were camped out around 30 Rock yesterday — flocking here from as far away as Ohio and Maryland — that businesses along 48th Street and down Sixth Avenue complained about the clogged sidewalks.
NBC eventually cleared the space, giving the first 600 fans wristbands and telling them to get lost until 2 a.m., when they'll be allowed to grab spots near the 30 Rock stage.
The wristbands were a blessing and a curse for fans, leaving some happy they didn't have to spend all night at 30 Rock — but many more worried they might lose their spots.
Sandra Montada of Laurel, Md., who brought her ninth-grade daughter, Caroline, to the city for the show, took pity on two upset girls in line and offered to share a hotel room.
"A lot of girls had the intention of sleeping out here for several days," said Montada as she furiously searched for hotel rooms on her smartphone. "These two girls who have $100 in their pocket, what are they going to do?"
Yesterday was Veterans Day, a school holiday for many fans, but almost all of them will still miss classes today for the show.
"I have my homework in my bag because as soon as I get back, I'm going straight to school," said Christa Guzman's 14-year-old sister, Adrienne.
Those without wristbands only hoped security would let in a few more for the performance.
