RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL TO HOST A SPECIAL SCREENING OF “THE TWO TOWERSâ€
It is not a world premiere, or an exclusive invite-only screening, but it is a RARE opportunity for the general public to experience a full-length feature film presentation at Radio City Music Hall, on a HUGE 60-foot screen. As if that’s not enough for any cinemaphile, here’s the finishing touch: it comes with LIVE musical accompaniment provided by a world-class orchestra.
Following up on last year’s performance of “The Fellowship of the Ringâ€, this spectacular Art Deco palace of stage and screen will present “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers†Live to Film on Friday & Saturday, 8 & 9 October 2010 at 7:30 p.m. In these special performances, Peter Jackson’s award-winning motion picture will be shown, while on stage Howard Shore’s entire original score is performed live in careful synchronization with the picture. Musical maestro Ludwig Wicki will lead Switzerland’s 21st Century Orchestra, the Collegiate Chorale, and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
Ticket prices range from $59.00 to $150.00. This elaborate movie presentation will use digital projection and include an intermission.
Doug Adams, author of “The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films: A Comprehensive Account of Howard Shore’s Scores†(released 5 October 2010), provides the program notes, available here.
The above information, along with artist profiles, venue information and a link to Ticketmaster is all available on the official website: http://www.theradiocitylotrconcert.com/
Re-registering.
Madison Square Garden was spun off from Cablevision. MSGE is a divison of MSG, as is RCP – Radio City Productions. The lease is with RCP.
Tonight is the last night that Vampire Weekend is playing their concert at the Hall, the third sold out night after two sold out concerts the two previous days. Recently, ownership of the Hall is now by MSG Entertainment, spun off from Cablevision but still run by the Dolans.
Interestingly, Powell specifically asked for Carole. Later he became involved with Jean Harlow and when she died he paid for her mausoleum. He and Myrna Loy also had a strong attraction but decided to do anything about it fearing it would destroy their on screen chemistry.
“Song Without End” played RCMH in four track magnetic sound
“Love Story” definitely premiered at Loew’s State, where I first saw it. Not at RCMH.
I think “Love Story” played the State Theatre.
Larry Peerce directed “GOODBYE, COLUMBUS”. Arthur Hiller directed the blockbuster “LOVE STORY”.
I’m in awe of your memory. The date and the seat location at age six. When I saw Bambi I was only five and I wouldn’t have a clue as to whether is was at the Music Hall. My parents took me there two or three times a year so my rememberances are of a cumulative nature. And, come to think of it I never saw Bambi again. Did see Snow White and Dumbo again as an adult.
I was in the third row of RCMH for the first show of Bambi August 13, 1942. I was six, and it was the first time at the Hall. What an impression! I’m still in awe of the building and the film.
Here’s a photo Radio City when the El still ran in front of it:

A sequel would soon follow (direct to DVD…)
Is 64 years really “soon”?
On TMC they also mentioned, and showed pictures of, Disney artists at the LA Zoo sketching fawns. They also showed the child actor who voiced Thumper, with the rabbit they presented to him. Because of the anny this will probably air some more. I don’t have to go to the movies to see deer, they’re in the back of my property, together with ground hogs, rabbits and wild turkeys.
I agree rvb. Bambi also was probably the first animated feature that involved an off-screen death of Bambi’s mom (spoiler alert!!!) by the hunter. A sequel would soon follow (direct to DVD and featuring Bambi all grown up and married to his fawn).
According to Robert Osborne on TCM about the anny of Bambi, it didn’t start out that strong even though it was later considered a classic and probably the the best animated feature ever made.
isn’t she great!!, Iused to wonder how they got ready for a new show while performing a show already on stage, what talented people indeed!
Here is another photo from May 2010:

To tinseltoes:
Thanks for the Judy Holiday info, she was the best. So hard to believe “Bells are Ringing” was her last role. She was so unique.
Nyer, The current reissue dvd for “Annie” is not letterboxed, but the orginal dvd release from Columbia was letterboxed for a scope 2.35 ratio. Columbia has done this dvd release patten on a few other film titles from their catalog.
Point of order Tinseltoes. After Alaska and Hawaii entered the union the total number of states is 50.
Love the clip NYer, never saw the movie.
Woody Allen’s “Radio Days” (1987) has a scene where the characters go to Radio City to see “The Philadelphia Story”. I’m pretty sure they shot inside the real thing.
According to a 12/3/07 post by REndres, Hitchcock didn’t actually shoot inside Radio City but faked it using studio re-creations and matte shots. It sure fooled me, though – very well done, and an exciting scene in an excellent movie. And it did open at the Hall on 5/10/42.
Alfred Hitchcock shot an important scene inside Radio City for his 1942 film “Saboteur”.
