Radio City Music Hall

by magicloop2009

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

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

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

Beautiful!!!!

by girlaudio

Radio City itself is a beautiful place and well worth a ticket price to enjoy it. We saw the Christmas Spectacular there 12.18.06. The building is super and the show was amazing as well. The tickets were only $80 total and it was worth every penny!

• Pros: Amazing sight, sound, and ambience!

One of the country's most opulent theaters, it's a symbol of showbiz glamour.

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. The theater has undergone extensive restoration in recent years, including the recreation of the "History of Theatre" wall covering inside the auditorium, replacement of all 5,901 seats and re-leafing of the ceilings.

The Draw
These days, the theater stages star-studded events ranging from the Grammy Awards to the Moscow Circus, and even occasionally plays home court for the New York Liberty women's basketball team. But the staple of this American stage has always been the Rockettes, a team of 36 long-legged dancers, and their annual "Radio City Christmas Spectacular."

A Jewel

by BenWilliams_Citysearch

Simply a gorgeous, gorgeous theater. OK, it's all seating, but the seats are very comfy with plenty of legroom. Acoustics are excellent. And the design is beautiful. You feel like you're one of the aristocracy back in 19th century Europe. I saw D'Angelo here and it was one of the best shows of my life.
