On December 27, 1932, Radio City Music Hall opened in NYC. The Music Hall was the brainchild of the billionaire John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who made it the cornerstone of the Rockefeller Complex he was building in midtown Manhattan. The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular debuted in 1933 and draws more than a million people annually. The show features the high-kicking Rockettes, a precision dance troupe that has been a staple at Radio City since the 1930s.
