We went to the Christmas Spectacular Rockettes 100th Anniversary event and it was amazing!. All the performers were excellent! The Rocketts, impeccable! The staff who worked the event that evening were very friendly and knowledgeable. I honestly cannot say enough about the staff who work in the bathroom. You can only imagine how long the women's bathroom line is at the end of the show they have I would say at least 10 if not more staff members who get you in and out of that line super fast, and they are super organized and have it down to a science. I have never been to a place where the bathroom has been super organized like that. 5 STARS ALL AROUND.. I LOVE NYC!
This place is truly ICONIC! We did the tour. The TOUR: Enjoyable and informative. The place is really beautiful. It was recently renovated. We saw the auditorium and stage from upstairs, before a show. They took us up into areas I didn't even know existed, practice areas, costume room, old Original seats upstairs, etc. We met one of the Rockettes, she talked with us and took questions. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. We Learned details about the history. Many classic pictures on the walls of hallways. Touring New York? Recommend! Helpful?
Radio City is one of the most acoustically sound theaters I have been in. I attended the Ludovico Einaudi concert on Sunday and it was absolutely AMAZING! Despite being up on 2nd mezzanine, there really isnt a bad seat in the house. You can feel the music in your soul. Great venue! Great artist! Comfortable seats and convenient restrooms and food access. I can't wait to be back here for another event soon. Tons of staff, all pleasant and helpful.
I like how clean it’s . The popcorn is organic fresh because boy oh boy it tastes healthy . The sound effects are out of this world . I enjoy the show the atmosphere. The good thing also is how you can exit easily from the auditorium. No going around just right there you leave . Cool 🤗😉
This was my first ever show inside after many years of walking past, and it was truly impressive! The staff was friendly and helpful, the location was clean inside and out, and the decor was gorgeous. While the restrooms were not conveniently located, the ladies' was breathtaking! I know, I know, that sounds weird to describe a lavatory that way, but it was huge, clean, and glamorous! You have to see it to believe it because it was probably one of the coolest restrooms I've ever visited. The show was good, too 😂
