Radio City Music Hall got its name because Rockefeller Center's first tenant was the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and the complex was known as "Radio City" in its early years. Radio City Music Hall was designed to be a "palace for the people," offering spectacular entertainment at a price the average New Yorker could afford. The "Mighty Wurlitzer" organ, with pipes housed in eleven separate rooms, was built especially for the theatre. Original special effects mechanisms, still in use today, can produce rain, fog and clouds through a system that draws steam directly from a Con Edison generating plant nearby.

Every year, more than a million visitors attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. The eight-week show has been a sell-out success since its debut in 1933. The show includes favorites like"The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" and "The Living Nativity."
