The sensory-friendly performance, in collaboration with TDF as part of their Autism-Friendly Performances Program, features a range of adjustments, including softer stage lighting and audio, and additional house lighting. Radio City Music Hall’s Grand Lounge becomes a sensory-safe space equipped with soft seating areas and fidget toys designed to provide guests an opportunity to reorient themselves. TDF and Radio City Music Hall have dedicated staff trained in sensory needs onsite at the performance to ensure all guests feel supported throughout the event.
