Radio City Music Hall is located in Rockefeller Center. It was for a time the leading tourist destination in the city. The Hall was developed between 1929 and 1940 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on land leased from Columbia University and its interior was declared a city landmark in 1978.

 

Since its opening, some of the most talented performers in the world appeared here at one time or another. They include: Linda Ronstadt, John Denver, Ray Charles, BB King, Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Sting and The Grateful Dead.

The Hall is also known for its famous Rockettes as well as their Christmas Spectacular which has been performed every year since its inception in 1932.

Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theatre in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet.
