Radio City Music Hall Peter Clark designed the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall to be the most innovative and technically advanced stage in the world, and throughout the theatre's history it has proven to be just that. The stage measures 66 1/2 feet deep and a full city block wide (144 feet). A variety of special effects can be created on it, including dense fog and rain, but perhaps the most impressive element is its elevator system. The stage is comprised of four elevators, each capable of being lowered 27 feet in the basement or raised 13 feet above the level of the stage. The elevators are run by a hydraulic system that was so ingenious, the United States Navy came to the Music Hall to study and borrow the design for use on their W.W.II aircraft carriers. So "Top Secret" was our hydraulic system, the government felt it necessary to have a special agent watch over our basement during the war years. During the Christmas Spectacular, the elevator system adds to the audience's delight as the Radio City Orchestra appears in front of the stage, disappears under the stage only to reappear high up in the back of the stage!
