Radio City Music Hall Stage Door Tour
A guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Art Deco landmark theater, with a Rockette meet-and-greet.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling with kids and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A 75-minute walk through the largest indoor theater in the world — and the genuine payoff isn't the Rockette meet-and-greet but the room itself: the great sunburst proscenium arch sweeping out over 5,960 seats, the Deco lounges, and a look at the hydraulic stage elevators that raise whole sets and orchestras.
Our read - 02
If you love Art Deco design or theater history, it's a real behind-the-curtain wow; if you don't, you'll find it scripted and most visitors are perfectly happy admiring the marquee from outside for free.
