March 5, 2025

At Music World, we are bringing the electrifying energy of 1930s New York City to life, allowing guests to step back in time and experience the golden age of jazz, Art Deco elegance, and the unstoppable rhythm of a city on the rise.

As one of Music World’s Time Travel Towns, the 1930s New York experience will immerse guests in an era of resilience, artistic revolution, and musical innovation. From the neon glow of Times Square to the underground speakeasies where jazz legends reigned, every detail will capture the soul of the city that never sleeps.

A Stroll Through Time

Guests will wander through cobblestone streets lined with towering Art Deco skyscrapers, their facades glowing with the golden hues of a city that defined ambition. The hum of streetcars, the calls of bustling vendors, and the sounds of honking Model A Fords will transport visitors to a time when New York was shaping the future. The city’s skyline will be recreated with breathtaking authenticity, featuring landmarks like the Chrysler Building and Radio City Music Hall, each a stunning tribute to 1930s architecture.

The Jazz Revolution Lives On

At the heart of the experience lies the Harlem Jazz Club, a hidden gem where guests will step into a world of swinging brass and soulful melodies. Inspired by legendary venues like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom, this intimate space will feature live performances that capture the sounds of Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Count Basie. Guests will have the chance to take the stage, join a jam session, or simply soak in the magic of the Roaring ’30s.

The Energy of Broadway

No visit to 1930s New York would be complete without the glamour of Broadway. Music World’s Broadway Street will transport guests to the heart of the theater district, where glowing marquees announce dazzling performances straight out of the Golden Age. Interactive experiences will allow guests to step into rehearsals, experience behind-the-scenes magic, and become part of a classic 1930s musical number, complete with dazzling costumes and chorus lines.

The Underground Speakeasies

Prohibition may have ended, but the allure of the underground speakeasy will live on. Guests will have the chance to uncover hidden, password-protected lounges tucked behind bookcases and unmarked doors. Inside, live jazz, craft cocktails (mocktails included), and whispered stories of the past will create an atmosphere of mystery and excitement, bringing the rebellious spirit of the era back to life.

Newsboys, Dancers, and the Spirit of the City

Throughout the streets, newsboys will shout the latest headlines, dancers will perform the Charleston and Lindy Hop, and the sights and sounds of a bygone era will come alive. Whether hailing a vintage taxi, watching street performers in Central Park, or catching a live orchestra playing under the glow of a grand ballroom chandelier, every moment will be an unforgettable piece of living history.

A Timeless New York Awaits

The 1930s New York experience at Music World will be more than just a place—it will be a feeling, a moment frozen in time where guests can relive the jazz age, the birth of Broadway, and the resilience of a city that never stops dreaming.

We are building a destination where history, music, and imagination come together in a way never seen before. Stay tuned as we bring Music World to life—one legendary era at a time.
