WBNA liberty basketball has been on the great stage live – i think boxing also (?) althought that is usually at the wamu. The panasonic screen has not been used for television, though i think every guy who watched the christmas show has thought in the middle of the show what it would be like to watch the super bowl on that screen.
Four or five years ago, The landlord of the Harlem Warehouse did not renew lease – the property was sold to a developer who was going to build a condominium. It was for the best. The property was not cared for by landlord, unheated , many items lost to water damage.
The bus is here to stay. David – good eye on the 36 rox up from 30 used previous years. the show will be stored in upstate NY this year – not sure where
If it too expensive for your taste – fine that is your opinion. If you doesn’t like cheaper options…ok I Personally , i like 3rd mezz.
The point is don’t complain that your seat is over $100 when you can the exact same seat on different day for 30% less and 40% less when you include ticketmaster. That is choice that people make for conveinence, and you pay for that conveinence, and it was obviously worth the money to them at time or they would not have paid it ….there are other options , other choices, certainly better choices than going on and on about it here ….
As far as Young Frankenstein, I’ll wait for two-fers, that is my choice . If they don’t come, I ’ll rent the movie….probably funnier anyway
If you are paying over $100 for the christmas show – that is choice that you are making and no one else is to blame. Besides the discount that old joe mentioned ( you CAN see the show the for $20) . But I bought FULL PRICE in DECEMBER —– $70 FRONT ORCHESTRA seats. Did I Go on a saturday night? NO – that is $100 Did I pay and extra $11.20 tickemaster charge per ticket and delivery charge to my house for another $20. NO – I saved money by going to the box office and buying my tickets. So I save about $200 by seeing the show on a Wednesday and picking up the tickets myself. Was It worth $280 for a family of four – Definately . It cheaper than sitting in prime seats for Broadway, Baseball, Football, Hockey and Basketball , a concert, the met, or carnagie hall or any other live event you can think of? YES. It the most reasonably priced seat in town.
Gabe – the walls of the Grand lounge were always black, page 63 of “The Art Of Rockefeller Center ” by Christine Roussell" (she had access to all archival records of rock center for the book) – The murals in the Lounge are titled The Phantsmargoria of the Theatre by Louis Bouche. “….specially prepared on black, Pyroxylin-coated walls, they are skillfully rendered.”
I heard – cannot confirm that the furniture in the grand lounge was disposed of (tossed!) in 1972 because the lounge was considered to crowded. there are no plans to recreate the furntiure since this space is rented out for meetings and events, and also for many private cocktail parties prior to christmas show.
The basement exit to the mall level of Rock Center is still there, but unused. It has been uncermoniously covered up on the mall side with generic doors from the mall renovation at 30 rock , they are located right across for the basement box office window that is still there. On the RC side of the passage way, the original doors are still exist, but remain closed.
The Barco LED Screen was replaced last year with a Panasonic screen -it was a huge success. It is being used in tandem with many stage props.
Does anyone have pictures of Radio city when the 6th ave elevated was still there and the marquee was actually part of the exit of the 50th st station ? Would like to see how people exited the marquee and got to street level
The dalai lama is teaching , not performing. There will be 3 sessions, not concerts. Radio City is too small a venue Benedict. He’d play Shea and Yankee stadiums like Paul VI and JP II. he does not work for scale …it is a 10% tithe
