History of Radio City Music Hall

Radio City Music Hall opened its doors on December 27, 1932 and has been visited by over 300 million visitors from around the world. Radio City is a major tourist attraction in New York City, and was granted official landmark status in 1978. In 1999, Radio City underwent its most extensive restoration project since its opening. It took over $70 million dollars, but when the restoration was finished, all the seats, carpeting, and wallpaper had been replaced, murals restored and technical elements enhanced. The restoration brought back the ambiance of the 1930's along with the integration of today's technology.
