The Overview – Radio City Music Hall was built as part of midtown Manhattan's Rockefeller Center complex in 1932. In 1979, it was declared a landmark and saved from threat of demolition.

I went to the spectacular in December and the daytime emmy awards here. Good lighting and very professional, but people shuv and push in crowds.
- Pros: Good Shows If You Are Near The Orchestra
- Cons: Too big, Much Crowds, Long lines and waits

Very Glad We Did The Tour!
by hubriis at Citysearch
We'd walked by Radio City Music Hall so many times and not once did we manage to set foot inside.
We decided to change that and play tourist; we signed up for the Radio City Stage Door Tour....while the tour was at times very hokey (meeting a Rockette and taking pictures with said Rockette) overall is was a wonderful tour and a great learning experience. We really enjoyed learning more about the inner workings of Radio City and more about the history of the building, the people, and the shows held inside. Don't miss this tour in you're at all interested in Radio City Music Hall.

Radio City is New York, New York
by donm999 at Citysearch
My wife and I come to NYC every year from Florida and bring our adult kids as part of their Christmas gift. We go to the Christmas Spectacular every year, even though the show was pretty much the same until the 75th. No matter; great show in a spectacular venue. Live camels in the Nativity scene!
The building itself is magnificent. Absolute must see. New York, New York.
- Pros: Every seat is a good buy
- Cons: Not enough time to look around
