When this storied Midtown theater fell into debt in the late 1970s, then-owner Rockefeller Center considered turning it into a mall or a theme park. New Yorkers weren’t having it. After a series of passionate protests (the Radio City Rockettes danced on the steps of City Hall), it received city landmark status. In the years since, the Art Deco gem has brought culture-shaping artists like Pink Floyd and Lady Gaga to Rock Center. Take a backstage tour for a closer look at history.

“This is, of course, one of my favorites. I had some of the best memories here recently. I did two shows back-to-back here for my world tour, the Alicia + Keys World Tour, and it was magic. The most beautiful part about Radio City is not only how it looks—it’s one of the most stunning and aesthetically beautiful theaters in the world—but I also love how it’s a relatively big place, but it just feels so intimate. It feels like you’re with your family, with your friends.”
