Radio City Music Hall

1260 6th Ave, New York, NY 10020 · New York, NY

Why you should go…

Opened in 1932 as the 'Showplace of the Nation,' Radio City is the world's most famous Art Deco theatre, its sunburst proscenium and roughly 6,000 seats hosting concerts, comedy, and award shows year-round. Each holiday season the Radio City Rockettes high-kick through the Christmas Spectacular on the Great Stage. When schedules allow, the Stage Door Tour goes behind the curtain into the opulent Roxy Suite and puts you face-to-face with a Rockette.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
