On This Day In History...

On December 27, 1932, Radio City Music Hall opened its doors. Even though this was at the height of the Great Depression, thousands of people turned out to see this magnificent Art Deco theater. It was conceived by billionaire John D. Rockefeller, Jr as a place of beauty where ordinary people could see high-quality entertainment. Since then, over 300 million people have attended movies, concerts, and stage shows at Radio City Music Hall. The annual Radio City Christmas Spectacular debuted in 1933, and today the show draws over a million people from all over the world to see the famous Rockettes dance troupe.
