This one-hour journey, lead by expertly trained tour guides, will take you through the history of one of the country's most magnificent National Landmarks. Guests will be able to explore the beautiful art-deco interior, learn the secrets and history of the Great Stage, tour the lavish private apartment of "Roxy" Rothafel, The Roxy Suite, and have the opportunity to meet one of the world-famous Radio City Rockettes, stars of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Since its opening in 1933, Radio City has hosted some of entertainment's most memorable moments, ranging from music to dance to theater.  MTV hosted their very first Video Music Awards right on the Great Stage and the Grammys, Tonys and Daytime Emmy Awards have all been presented at Radio City.  Some of the top artists in the music industry including Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Michael Buble, Dave Matthews and Harry Connick Jr. have all performed at this legendary theater.

In 1999, Radio City Music Hall was restored to its original grandeur following a $70 million restoration.  The Music Hall was declared a New York Landmark in 1979 and then designated a National Landmark in 1987.  After taking the Stage Door Tour, visitors will have no doubt that the theater is well deserving of this prestigious honor.  Each stop on the tour evokes a sense of majesty, grandeur, elegance and style -- all words appropriately used to describe Radio City Music Hall.
                                                       
Visitors cannot help but feel the rich sense of history that has been created within the theater. Radio City Music Hall is truly an integral part of the heart and soul of New York City.
