New York City, August 2010


Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The art-deco 'Showplace of the Nation' was once the number-one tourist attraction in New York. It opened on December 27, 1932 with a stage show featuring Ray Bolger (later of Wizard of Oz fame) and dancer and choreographer Martha Graham. Intended as an attempt to return high-class variety entertainment to prominence, the show was widely seen as a failure. The venue later became the theatre of choice for premiere presentations of films from the RKO-Radio Studio.
