Radio City Music Hall

New York City offers visitors a wide array of entertainment options, making it hard to choose which theater, comedy club or concert hall to attend. Radio City Music Hall stands out from the rest, combining an exquisite theatre steeped in history with world-class entertainment, making it difficult to find Radio City Music Hall parking unless you book ahead of time with ParkWhiz. The venue was constructed as part of John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s eponymous Rockefeller Center and opened in December 1932, situated on land originally intended for an opera house. The talent of interior designer Donald Deskey and the architect Edward Durrell Stone combined to create a unique, stylish Art Deco concert theatre. The design was influenced by theater operator Samuel “Roxy” Rothafel, who also refined the idea of showing a motion picture in addition to a stage show, which brought the music hall success for several decades. The venue’s interior was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Council in 1978, and later that year it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The Rockettes, a precision dance troupe, have been based at Radio City Music Hall since it opened, and are central to the venue’s annual Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes. Several major feature films premiered at the venue, including Mary Poppins, The Lion King, To Kill a Mockingbird, King Kong and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, among many others. This one-of-a-kind theatre attracts the top talent in contemporary entertainment, so it is crucial to book Radio City Music Hall parking in advance with ParkWhiz.
