A fantastic experieance my farther took me to see the Christmas show that opened with a fantastic Christmas Show by "The Radio City Music Hall Rocketes" then a full featured movie: Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a 1971 musical film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution Company which combines live action and animation and was released in North America on December 13, 1971. It is based upon the books The Magic Bed Knob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons (1943) and Bonfires and Broomsticks (1945) by English childrens author Mary Norton. It stars Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson. The film is frequently compared to Mary Poppins (1964): combining live action and animation and partly set in the streets of London. It shares some of the cast from Mary Poppins, namely Tomlinson, supporting actor Reginald Owen (in his last film role), a similar film crew, songwriters the Sherman Brothers, director Robert Stevenson, art director Peter Ellenshaw, and music director Irwin Kostal. According to film critic Leonard Maltins book Disney Films, Leslie Caron, Lynn Redgrave, Judy Carne, and Julie Andrews were all considered for the role of Eglantine Price before the Disney studio decided on Angela Lansbury. David Tomlinson replaced Ron Moody as Emelius Brown due to Moodys busy schedule in England. It won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. its a delightful movie where an apprentice witch, 3 kids and a cynical conman search for the missing component to a magic spell useful to the defense of Britain. I still remember the Organ and the players stage slowly sliding from between the red velvet curtains on the side of the theater and then the full orchestra rising from under the front of the stage and then the rockettes tacking the stage in there full glory what a fantastic experience and show...!:*)

The same day ticket sales experience was horrible. I arrived about 35 minutes prior to curtain and was directed into a longer line, while there was a much shorter line presumably for will call split into two. The usher on the outside of the theater was giving conflicting information compared to the one working the front of the line (and who kept muttering she didnt know what was going on), and it turned out one of the lines for what I had initially had been told was will call supposedly was the line for same day sales. There was no rush to get people into the upcoming show and no continuity as someone from further back in my line was given priority by a different usher to cut the line and buy tickets. I was allowed to swap to what should have been the same day sales line and ended up at the front of that line alongside the woman who had been behind me. When the next window opened up, the woman was even telling the usher to let me go (at this point with less than 5 minutes to curtain) but she let the other woman go instead, saying Id be taken care of soon, then walked away. The next window opened up and people behind me told me to run up before the usher bothered to come back and direct traffic. I dont know why she was turning away 7:30pm will call customers on account of keeping things clear for the 2pm crowd, yet simultaneously making people wait who wanted tickets for a half filled show starting in minutes while letting people buy advance tickets instead. I ended up missing the opening. Had it been about 5 minutes later, Radio City wouldnt have gotten my money because its only a 90 minute show.

Yesterday evening, 11/27, we had the printed tickets in hand for the 8:00 p.m. show, and arrived at the venue with 20 minutes before the show. We have been directed to walk to the entrance on the left of the building on 51st. To our surprise, the line was beyond any imaginable consideration, which means it was very close to 5th Ave – no exaggeration. It took us perhaps 6-8 minute to only walk from the main entrance on 6th Ave, to the 51st street, and then to end of the line. I think I said at least 5-6 time – OMG about the line going on and on and on!!! I have never seen such line to any of the shows, concerts, or any other events. When we finally arrived inside of the building, they had people doing the metal scan. But they had only 5 persons doing this for the hundreds of people entering the venue – so of course it was slow and we passed the scan control 25 minutes after the show time!! Now this is a 90-minute show, so we missed ~30% of the show. I couldn’t believe that they started the show with so many people still in line outside the venue, which clearly was not our fault! It was never announced that we should arrive with 45 min before the show, or that they have metal scanning to at least imagine that it would add some delay. Two nights before, we went to Cirque de Soleil/Paramour, and we entered in, in just a few minutes as it should be!! This is clearly something that has to be improved. In the meantime, I will ask for my money back as I want to come back and see the full show.

Tappa dobbligo se siete appassionati alla storia di New York City. Le più gradi celebrità di questo pianeta sono passate tutte qui. Ed è sede di molti degli spettacoli più sensazionali al mondo, primo di tutti lo spettacolo di Natale! In uno spettacolo entrò persino un elefante in passato. La struttura è chiaramente in stile decò, con le moquette e gli interni autentici di quegli anni. Con il "Radio City Stage Tour" farete una visita guidata nel quale verrà raccontata la storia del teatro, di come si preparano le rocket per gli spettacoli e di tutto il retroscena. Ve lo consiglio!

Iconic. Timeless. Historic. These are a few words that I use to describe Radio City Music Hall. Nothing but talent has graced these walls and nothing but shall moving forward. Ive been to some of the most impressive events / concerts / etc here and there is just something about it. No, its not luxurious, not its uber cushy and comfortable, but what it is is the best vehicle of top notch curation. The space is typical of any concert hall, tall ceilings, regal bathrooms, etc. The seats could do with a little revamping as they can be a bit snug, but maybe im just tall. The cocktails are what you would expect, strong, amateurishly made, and a little pricey. But hey, you know what you signed up for! What you will take away is that this place will be forever cemented in your memories of where "it" all went down, where you "saw it", where you "experienced it", where you traveled to have your moment in the glory of "it". Great things happen here, make sure you experience it at least once.

You cant get better than this wonderful hall. They show movies, performances, TV shows, concerts and The Rockettes. Not only is this a tourist spot with back stage tours but a MUST see venue. It all began in 1929, and opened around Christmas of 1932 and holds over 6,000 people for the Spectacular Christmas show that is amazing. My grandpa took me here to see shows when I was 6. I have seen popstars preform, the NFL drafts and met celebs like Whoopie, the TONY awards, and I took my son to his 1st showing of the NINJA TURTLES!! All I can say is this place is KAWA BONGA! Last night I saw the Americas Got Talent-Amazing seats and great sound even in Mezzanine 2. I have spent countless great memories in this awesome artistic breathtaking theater. Check out the chandelier that hangs to the art everywhere. Even the bathrooms have an amazing lounge and old blue sinks. Like Dorothy says, there is no place like HOME! NYC rox
