You are greeted at the entrance by a very polite and informative guide (the lady who took us round was very happy to answer questions and very enthusiastic about the subject) and taken into the plush art-deco interior, where each idea of the design is talked about and explained. You then move on into the auditorium, where, if it's possible, you get to walk on the stage in front of a theatre big enough to hold nearly 6,000 people! You are then taken underneath the stage to see the hydraulic pumps that move the stage sections. These, interestingly, were a very secret piece of engineering in WWII, as their design was used on aircraft carriers! Moving on through the building, you see many photos of shows that have been held there since the 1920s! You are introduced to a current Rockette dancer, and there is a short Q and A about the job with her. Definitely worth the money if you are into theatre-going and interested in shows and musicals.
