Saving Radio City Music Hall

Aug 22, 2015 665

Please join us at the Italian American Museum, Friday evening, August 28th to hear the true story of how Radio City Music Hall, Art Deco masterpiece, iconic cultural landmark, and New York City's premiere tourist attraction for generations, was saved from demolition.


Nearly four decades later and after years of intense research, Rosemary Novellino-Mearns tells the amazingly honest, fact-filled, emotionally charged, and often humorous story of how she motivated a small group of dedicated colleagues and friends to join forces to save Radio City Music Hall. Encouraged by having touched the hearts of New York and the Nation with their early efforts, they continued to challenge the Rockefeller establishment and political forces determined to raze the building. Against all odds, Rosemary, her small group of determined idealists, a few well-placed public figures and media allies, succeeded in saving this universally acknowledged symbol of New York City and popular American culture.

Friday, August 28th, 6:30 P.M.
