Radio City Music Hall

I grew up watching the daytime Emmys.

And I remember what it felt special and expensive from Radio City Music Hall in the heart of New York City.

I remember the days of the freaking Power Rangers coming out because that was the hottest show for children back in the day.

You had the entire crew from Sesame Street.

Ladies and gentlemen, I received the following telegram this afternoon.

It reads, Bill Stern, Radio City, New York.

This is to notify you that I dare you.

In fact, I double dare you to appear on my radio program the night of January the 2nd and play a saxophone solo.

yeah stuff goes down but they're all kind of plays glorified plays pretty much yeah pretty much yeah um

I don't know what your viewing experience was this time around, but mine, I saw it midday, 2 p.m. in Trumbull, and it had like 15 people in it, which for a Thursday midday screening of an indie movie starring a bunch of old white guys, that may as well be a sold-out show at Radio City Music Hall.

Yeah.

So I guess we might overachieve.

They were seeking to illustrate just that sentiment.

But if the packed show at Radio City Music Hall was meant to recapture the razzle-dazzle of Broadway seasons past, marking the 75th anniversary of the Tonys with a dallop of nostalgia, it was also a celebration of groundbreaking work by a hugely diverse group of artists.

The Marquee Award, the best new musical, went to the highly innovative A Strange Loop, Michael R. Jackson's 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner, about a black gay man writing a show about a gay black man.

Let's keep talking about A Strange Loop,

Just

seeing New York for the first time and getting around and going to Radio City Music Hall and museums and art galleries and all the places of interest, it was exciting.

We would get dressed up and wander through Tiffany's and Cartier's and Bond would tell her as if we were going to buy, never bought a thing.

Another great thing was to go down to Klein's.

The famous Radio City Rockettes are kicking off their 101st season at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.

The Christmas spectacular shows are running through January 4th, and they have a new number called Ring, which features a different angle to the Christmas classic Carol of the Bells.

Officials say this year there are more cameras and new sound technology amplifying microphones built into the shoes of the Rockettes.
