after its near-closure and subsequent reopening, radio city music hall diversified its selection of shows and performances. time slots were set aside for movie screenings, but the music hall had mostly turned to stage shows. by january 1980, the music hall was hosting shows such as the stage adaptation of "snow white and the seven dwarfs" and the "rockettes spectacular." however, the theatrical shows proved to be unpopular, so in 1983, the radio city music hall shifted to creating music concerts and participating in the production of films and tv shows. the parent company, radio city music hall productions (a subsidiary of rockefeller center inc.), started creating or co-creating films and broadway shows such as "legs" and "brighton beach memoirs". in 1985, radio city music hall finally recorded its first profit in three decades, with a net gain of $2.5 million that year. this was partly attributed to the addition of music concerts, which appealed toward younger viewers. the music hall also started hosting televised events including the grammy awards, the tony awards, the daytime emmy awards, the mtv video music awards, and the nfl draft.
