Mon Laferte sings like she is arguing with someone, which is what makes a bolero in her hands feel like a rock song and a rock song feel like heartbreak. Radio City's sunburst arches and 6,000 velvet seats give that voice a room worthy of it, and the crowd for a Latin-pop night at the Music Hall is one of the warmest in the city. If you want spectacle and feeling in the same ticket, this is the weekend's pick.
What to expect
You come in off Sixth Avenue into the Radio City grand foyer, all gold leaf and 60-foot ceilings, then into a hall where even the rear mezzanine has sightlines. Expect a set that swings between full-band rock and quiet, single-spotlight ballads, with a crowd that sings the Spanish-language choruses back at full volume.
Good to know
- Take the B, D, F or M to 47–50 Sts–Rockefeller Center; the venue entrance is steps from the station.
- Radio City is a seated theater, so there is no floor pit and no need to arrive hours early for position.
- Bar lines in the grand foyer move fastest before the doors to the auditorium open.
- The hall has accessible seating and elevator access; request accommodations through the venue in advance.
- A good pick for a date night or a mixed-language group; the show carries even if your Spanish is rusty.
