City Music Hall New York
Location: 1260 6th Ave., New York
America's most popular entertainers have thrilled audiences
at Radio City Music Hall since its doors opened December 27, 1932. Frank Sinatra,
Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Bennett to mention only a few of the celebrities
and luminaries to grace the Great Stage. Radio City Music Hall completed a seven
month $70 million restoration in 1999. From the famed marquee to the seats and the
ceilings to the carpets, the restoration returned Radio City Music Hall to its famed
glory. Reopened after an extensive restoration on October 4, 1999, the Music Hall
now reflects its original grandeur of opening night, 1932, sporting behind-the-scenes
upgrades and refurbishment. Following the lead of Radio City's experienced tour
guides, guests explore: the Great Stage, one of the largest indoor performance stages
in the world; the stage's hydraulic system, still in operation since the '30s; the
renowned private suite, with 12-feet high gold leaf ceilings and onetime home to
Samuel "Roxy" Rothafel. And as an exciting climax to the Stage Door Tour, guests
will meet one of the world-famous Radio City Rockettes! The Radio City "Stage Door
Tour" is a one hour, walking tour of the interior of Radio City Music Hall that
departs from the Music Hall lobby.
