I have a real love for Radio City Music Hall. Besides having seen The Christmas Spectacular a bazillion times, I was lucky enough to attend the ‘Sex and the City’ movie premiere a few years back. Those two experiences have left my heart wide open for the venue!
The Radio City Stage Door Tour is a one-hour walking tour, lead by enthusiastic and expertly trained tour guides, and offers an interactive experience while visiting the venue. Our tour guide was named Alvin and boy was he one to remember!
My group (which consisted of Fit Celeb, 24/7 Victoria, Bronx Mama, Orange Juice And Biscuits, NYC Mama, NYC Single Mom, Gay NYC Dad, )explored the art-deco interior, learned the secrets and history of the Great Stage (one of the largest indoor performance stages in the world), and walked through the lavish private apartment of “Roxy” Rothafel, known as The Roxy Suite.
We even met a Rockette! They took pictures of us with her – but they weren’t developed in time. So Radio City promised they would mail it to us.
The best part of the entire tour HAD TO BE when we were allowed on the stage. As a joke I told the group we should all get in a line and kick out our legs and they AGREED. I thought that was so funny because I was totally kidding. Good times. Good times.
Don’t miss the chance to take the Radio City Stage Door Tour and experience this iconic and impressive theatre up close and personal. The Stage Door Tours depart approximately every half-hour from 11a.m to 3p.m daily.

I have goosebumps! I got to see it from a distance when I was in the city last year (for a whole minute). It's on my MUST list to see a show there when I get back to NYC.
