Radio City Music Hall New York
Radio City Music Hall is just one of the 19 commercial buildings that make up the famed Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan. When the theater first opened in 1932, it ran first-run motion pictures along with shows of the world famous Rockettes Chorus Line. Hollywood's stellar elite would drop in on Radio City Music Hall when in New York, much to the delight of the New York public. The Great Depression was just coming to an end in 1932 and the extravagant Art Deco design of the enormous theater (over 6000 seats) was enough to capture the imagination of the movie-going public and help them escape the realities of every day life.

Today Radio City Music Hall is one of the top concert venues in the city. Performers from all over the world now grace the stage. The movies may be gone, but the Rockettes are still here. The Christmas Show has become a New York tradition. If you are lucky enough to visit New York City during the holidays, make every effort to catch the show. Afterwards you can enjoy the spectacle of the enormous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center and take a few turns around the ice rink.

At the very least, take advantage of the tours of the recently restored Radio City Music Hall.
