REVIEWS


"This is an iconic venue, always fun and never disappoints."

"The theatre is beautiful on the inside and the outside."

"If this Christmas spectacular with the Rockettes doesn't put you in the Holiday Spirit then nothing will. 
The dancing, music and choreography were fantastic. There were even live camels, sheep and a burro in the last nativity scene. We'll worth it and the Radio City Music Center was a beautiful historic site."
"The christmas spectacular show at the Radio City was fantastic, it was so good that I didnt want the show to end, thanks to everyone in the show that made this very spectacular."

HISTORY and more




    The Radio City Music Hall opened on DECEMBER 27, 1932. It is located in Manhattan very close to the Rockefeller Center. It was designed by Edward Durell Stone, Donald Deskey, and Raymond Hood. 

Donald Deskey wasn't the most popular interior designer to enter the competition for design of the Music Hall's interior spaces. He designed more than thirty separate spaces, including eight lounges and smoking rooms.  "He made art apart of the design, engaging fine artists to create murals, wall coverings and sculpture; textile designers to develop draperies and carpets; craftsmen to make ceramics, wood panels and chandeliers."-The source is Radio City Music Hall
    Deskey himself designed furniture and carpets. "He used a brilliant combination of precious materials including marble and gold foil, and industrial materials including Bakelite,  aluminum and cork.
  The strength of his achievement is reflected in how well the theatre has maintained its character over time. "It is a remarkable design and still has the power to take the breath away."

      THE LANDMARK STEALS THE SHOW!!
 One New York critic reports approvingly, "It has been said of the new Music Hall that it needs no performers."
