The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is designed to thrill audiences across the country with the traditional show that our fans have come to know and love.
Back to TopThe Rockettes® are the stars of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular®. 2012 is the 85th anniversary of the Rockettes® - beloved icons and a national treasure, known world-wide for their legendary eye high kicks, classic glamour, and consummate dance skills.
The Rockettes® first kicked to life in 1925 in St. Louis, Missouri, a city many hundreds of miles away from the glitz and glamour of their present home, Radio City Music Hall.
From appearances on the Tony Awards, Dancing with the Stars, and the Super Bowl Halftime Show to Presidential Inaugurations, the Rockettes® are above anything else – stars.
Since their inception, more than 3,000 women have danced as Rockettes®, and each year thousands of women audition for their chance to become part of the legendary line. The Rockettes® fan base stretches across the globe. They’ve remained a legendary entertainment force since their inaugural performance and through the years they have wowed audiences the world over.
There are 36 spectacular Rockettes® and 72 legs moving in perfect harmony at every performance of the Christmas Spectacular.
Rockettes must be between 5'6" and 5'10 1/2". Click here for more information about the Rockettes®.
Auditions are usually held each Summer in New York and Los Angeles. The audition information is posted on www.rockettes.com
More than 1,300 costumes cross the stage in 90 magical minutes of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular®.
Back to TopYes, four-legged members of the cast include camels, sheep, and donkeys.
During the course of the show's run the animals live at Radio City Music Hall in hay filled stalls with their handlers sleeping in accommodations nearby. The menagerie consumes 450 bottles of water, 340 bales of hay and 560 loaves of 7 grain bread over the show's 9-week run, and exercise daily with early morning and late night strolls on the streets outside the Music Hall - an occurrence that has surprised more than a few New York night owls and midtown commuters.
