What To Expect

Radio City Music Hall

Discover the timeless allure of Radio City Music Hall, located at 1260 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan. This iconic venue, renowned for its red-and-blue neon signage and Art Deco architecture, has graced numerous films, including classics like Annie, Rosemary’s Baby, and Rocky III. Despite playing a minor role in The Godfather, Radio City Music Hall stands out with its unchanged appearance since the 1970s and even the 1940s, the era in which the movie is set. In a memorable scene, Michael and Kay Corleone exit the music hall after attending a screening of The Bells of St. Mary’s, a delightful musical comedy-drama from 1945 starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman. Immerse yourself in the movie's authentic atmosphere as you explore this historic New York City gem.
