RADIO CITY MUSIC
HALL REPAIRS 
Radio City
Music Hall is a huge theater in New York City that entertains millions
of people every year with its various shows. The doors to this theater
originally opened in 1932.
Radio City
Music Hall has been closed for the past seven months for repairs. It reopened
on Monday October 4, 1999. The repairs included putting up new neon lights,
rewiring 1,500 other lights, re-insulating walls to improve the sound,
and recovering all 5,901 seats. The idea behind all these "fix-ups" was
to make Radio City Music Hall look as it did when it opened in 1932. All
total, the repairs cost $70 million dollars!
The Radio
City Music Hall Rockettes are a popular show in the theater. Along with
the Rockettes, big stars such as Billy Crystal and Tony Bennett performed
the night that Radio City Music Hall reopened.
