I auditioned back in May in NYC, and when I made it to the final cut they advised us (about 30 girls left) that they were unsure how many openings they had, and they would get back to us hopefully by June. We then had our measurements and photos taken, and we filled out information forms where we could request our top choices of cities. If you are assigned to the NY stage, the weekly compensation is the same, but housing and transportation are not covered, whereas if you perform anywhere else, all expenses are paid (besides some food). So, I checked the "put me anywhere" box, as I love to travel and would be happy to perform in any of those cities. I was actually very excited to be placed in Nashville as I have never really spent time in the south, and I've heard Nashville is beautiful.
This year happens to be the 75th anniversary for The Rockettes, so I am really excited to be a part of it! They are publishing a coffee table book to commemorate this anniversary, so all the girls this year were able to participate in a photo shoot. I flew back to NYC in August for a one day shoot, where we got to pose in three different vintage Rockette costumes. It was great! But you might be surprised how painful it is to remain static all day in high heels, tights, and uncomfortable costumes. Here is the "diamonds" costume from the old Easter show that used to be put on at Radio City:
Not really sure what this one is, but we were calling it the Easter egg costume: 
And here is the line up of girls from that day. There were only 18 of us on this particular day, girls from all different cities. This was our last photo, and we were all very tired. You can probably tell.
