Radio City Rockettes hold auditions in NYC for their 100th anniversary season

Radio City Rockettes hold auditions in NYC for their 100th anniversary season

CBS News22-04-2025
The world famous
Radio City Rockettes
are holding auditions in New York City Tuesday.
More than 1,000 dancers from across the United States and beyond have descended on the Big Apple,
chasing the same dream
as the Rockettes celebrate their 100th anniversary season.
It's a lifelong dream for the dancers. By 7 a.m., aspiring Rockettes lined up along 50th Street. Over the years, they've come from every state and dozens of countries for the shot at one of the few coveted spots in the legendary kickline.
The dancers went inside, warmed up, and shook out their nerves. Then they had to learn and master choreography in just minutes before the big moment - the audition. Years of training comes down to just one shot, and this year's an extra special year. In addition to auditioning for the big show - the 2025
Christmas Spectacular
- dancers are being considered for the Rockettes' dancer development programs, including a newly-launched Rockettes Preparatory, designed to find and train the next generation of talent.
Only a rare few of the hopefuls earn a direct spot straight to the show.
"I'm from Lousiiana," dancer Ryleigh Geis said. "Today we're auditioning for the Rockettes and it's the 100 season, so it's actually super exciting. I feel really special just to be a part of it."
"It was a lot of fun. Really intense, stressful at times. I felt we were all in it together we were able to push ourselves to the next level," said dancer Michelle Osanya, from Iowa.
Some dreams were dashed Tuesday, but a few dozen got the news they'd been hoping for. They've been called back and will return for a second round Wednesday.
Last year, more than 800 dancers auditioned, and the 2024 Christmas Spectacular featured 17 new dancers.
The Rockettes were founded in St. Louis in 1925 as the "Missouri Rockets." They perform for more than a million people each holiday season at Radio City Music Hall.

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. Reports Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) ('MSG Entertainment' or the 'Company') today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year ended June 30, 2025. Fiscal 2025 was highlighted by another year of strong demand for the Company's array of live entertainment offerings. The Company hosted nearly 6 million guests at more than 975 events, including concerts, special events, family shows, and marquee sports, as well as the New York Knicks' ("Knicks") and New York Rangers' ("Rangers") regular seasons and the Knicks' playoff run. It also reflected approximately 1.1 million tickets sold across 200 shows of the Christmas Spectacular production, which delivered another year of record-setting revenues. In addition, the Company repurchased approximately $40 million of its Class A common stock during fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2025, the Company reported revenues of $942.7 million, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year. In addition, the Company reported operating income of $122.1 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 9%, and adjusted operating income of $222.5 million, an increase of $11.0 million, or 5%, both as compared to the prior year. (1) For the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter, the Company reported revenues of $154.1 million, a decrease of $31.9 million, or 17%, as compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, the Company reported an operating loss of $25.8 million, an increase of $16.9 million as compared to the prior year quarter, and an adjusted operating loss of $1.3 million as compared to adjusted operating income of $13.1 million in the prior year quarter. (1) Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, 'During fiscal 2025, we saw strong demand for our portfolio of entertainment assets. We see this momentum continuing in fiscal 2026, and believe we are well positioned to drive solid revenue and adjusted operating income growth in the year ahead.' Results for the Three and Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024: Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding. NM — Absolute percentages greater than 200% and comparisons from positive to negative values or to zero values are considered not meaningful. (1) See page 4 of this earnings release for the definition of adjusted operating income (loss) included in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. Expand Entertainment Offerings, Arena License Fees and Other Leasing Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter revenues from entertainment offerings of $118.7 million decreased $24.1 million, or 17%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower event-related revenues and a decrease in revenues subject to the sharing of economics with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ("MSG Sports") pursuant to the Arena License Agreements. Event-related revenues decreased $21.6 million, primarily due to lower revenues from concerts, partially offset by higher revenues from other live entertainment and sporting events held at the Company's venues. The decrease in revenues from concerts primarily reflects a decrease in the number of concerts at the Madison Square Garden Arena ("The Garden") and lower per-concert revenues, primarily due to a shift in the mix of events at The Garden from promoted events to rentals, partially offset by an increase in the number of concerts at the Company's theaters, all as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues from other live entertainment and sporting events primarily reflects higher per-event revenues. Revenues subject to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements decreased $2.4 million, primarily due to lower suite license fee revenues (excluding those retained by MSG Entertainment) as compared to the prior year quarter, which mainly reflects the impact of fewer Knicks and Rangers games played at The Garden. Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter arena license fees and other leasing revenues of $9.0 million increased $0.5 million, or 6%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in other leasing revenues, partially offset by lower arena license fees due to a combined one fewer Knicks and Rangers regular season game played at The Garden as compared to the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter direct operating expenses associated with entertainment offerings, arena license fees and other leasing of $85.5 million decreased $14.2 million, or 14%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower event-related expenses and, to a lesser extent, lower expenses related to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to the presentation of the Christmas Spectacular production and other cost increases. Event-related expenses decreased $15.7 million, mainly due to lower per-concert expenses, primarily due to a shift in the mix of events at The Garden from promoted events to rentals, and a decrease in the number of concerts at The Garden, partially offset by an increase in the number of concerts at the Company's theaters, all as compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by higher expenses for other live entertainment and sporting events as compared to the prior year quarter. Expenses associated with the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements decreased $1.8 million, reflecting a proportional decrease in contractual revenue sharing as a result of the decrease in suite license fee revenues. Food, Beverage and Merchandise Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter food, beverage and merchandise revenues of $26.4 million decreased $8.3 million, or 24%, as compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to (i) lower food and beverage sales at Knicks and Rangers games, primarily due to fewer games played at The Garden as compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by higher per-event revenues, and (ii) lower food and beverage sales at concerts, primarily due to a decrease in the number of concerts at The Garden, partially offset by an increase in the number of concerts at the Company's theaters, both as compared to the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter food, beverage and merchandise direct operating expenses of $16.5 million decreased $6.2 million, or 27%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower food and beverage costs at concerts at the Company's venues and lower food and beverage costs at Knicks and Rangers games at The Garden. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $59.9 million increased $4.1 million, or 7%, as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation and related benefits, partially offset by lower rent expense and other net cost decreases. Operating Loss and Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter operating loss of $25.8 million increased $16.9 million and adjusted operating income decreased $14.4 million to an adjusted operating loss of $1.3 million, both as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower direct operating expenses. About Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (MSG Entertainment) is a leader in live entertainment, delivering unforgettable experiences while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences. The Company's portfolio includes a collection of world-renowned venues – New York's Madison Square Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and Beacon Theatre; and The Chicago Theatre – that showcase a broad array of sporting events, concerts, family shows, and special events for millions of guests annually. In addition, the Company features the original production, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, which has been a holiday tradition for more than 90 years. More information is available at Non-GAAP Financial Measures We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other long-lived assets, including right of use assets and related lease costs, (ii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iii) restructuring charges or credits, (iv) merger, spin-off, and acquisition-related costs, including merger-related litigation expenses, (v) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (vi) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, (vii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs and (viii) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan. We exclude impairments of long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets and related lease costs, as these expenses do not represent core business operating results of the Company. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We eliminate merger, spin-off, and acquisition-related transaction costs, when applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan are recognized in Operating (income) loss whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the executive deferred compensation plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in Other income (expense), net, which is not reflected in Operating income (loss). We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss), please see page 5 of this release.

Celebrate the Rockettes 100th Anniversary at the 2025 Christmas Spectacular!

Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City RockettesRuns November 6, 2025 - January 4, 2026Only at Radio City Music Hall Tickets On Sale Now! NEW YORK, July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In celebration of "Christmas in July," Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) ("MSG Entertainment") announced today that America's most beloved holiday show, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes®, will return to the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall® from November 6, 2025 through January 4, 2026. Tickets for the 2025 Christmas Spectacular, taking place during the Rockettes milestone 100th anniversary, are on sale now at "As the Christmas Spectacular returns for its 92nd season during the Rockettes milestone centennial year, we continue to celebrate all that makes the Rockettes beloved icons," said Jessica Tuttle, Executive Vice President, Productions for MSG Entertainment. "The Christmas Spectacular seamlessly blends tradition with evolution – from numbers that have been performed since the show's inception, to increasingly complex and athletic choreography. The constant is the unparalleled Rockettes and the joy they bring as the stars of the show, and this Christmas will be no exception." To commemorate the Rockettes 100th anniversary, audiences who attend the Christmas Spectacular this year will be able to experience unique activations onsite at Radio City Music Hall that celebrate the history and legacy of this incredible line of women. Ticketholders will also have access to exclusive Rockettes 100th merchandise at Radio City Music Hall. And, earlier this week, the Rockettes debuted a new video tribute to the 100th anniversary featuring the iconic song "That's Entertainment!" that was shot on the Great Stage at Radio City. A staple of the holidays in New York City, the awe-inspiring Christmas Spectacular features intricate choreography performed by the incomparable Radio City Rockettes® throughout nine show-stopping numbers. The production, which can only be seen at Radio City Music Hall, blends classic numbers that audiences know and love, such as "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," with innovative technology that extends the show beyond the stage, including expansive digital projections. In 2024, the production introduced cutting-edge holographic technology in a new scene starring Santa Claus and set to the holiday classic "We Need A Little Christmas." Paired with the digital projections, the holographic animations in this scene immerse audiences in holiday wonder while referencing classic Rockettes numbers with images of a double decker bus, wooden solders, rag dolls, and more. Since it opened at Radio City in 1933, the Christmas Spectacular has brought holiday joy to more than 72 million people from around the world. Founded in St. Louis, MO in 1925 and celebrating their centennial this year, the Rockettes are the longest-running precision dance company in America and world-renowned for their signature Rockettes Precision Dance Technique™. Initially known as the "Missouri Rockets" at the time of their founding, the dance company relocated to New York City in 1927 before finally settling at their home – Radio City Music Hall – in 1932 and becoming known as the Rockettes. In 1933, the annual Christmas Spectacular began and still features the original, classic number "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." Beginning in the 1930s and for more than 40 years, the Rockettes performed as the opening act for films at Radio City including "King Kong," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Mary Poppins" and "White Christmas." The Rockettes have been part of Americana throughout their history: they were among the first entertainers to volunteer for the USO during WWII, entertaining troops both at home and abroad – a partnership that continued into the 2010s – and they have performed annually in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1957. Over the years, the Rockettes have starred in other original productions at Radio City – including a long running Easter Extravaganza, New York Spring Spectacular, and New York Spectacular. In 1988, the Rockettes performed in the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and the dance company has performed for multiple United States Presidents of both parties, including at two Presidential Inaugurations and other Presidential celebrations. For 20 years beginning in the mid-1990s, the Rockettes performed for more than 12 million people in 80 cities across North America with the touring production of the Christmas Spectacular. More recently, the Rockettes have appeared at the Tony Awards, the MTV VMAs, the NYC Pride Parade, MLB's Home Run Derby, and the NBA All-Star Game; on programs such as "Saturday Night Live," "America's Got Talent," "Today," "Live with Kelly and Mark," and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon;" and in the Hallmark film "A Holiday Spectacular." The Rockettes have also rocked social media with their dance videos and fun takes on viral trends, amassing a social media fan base of more than 5.9 million followers. They've danced alongside the likes of the Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, James Corden, Cynthia Erivo, Jimmy Fallon, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Hart, Jennifer Lopez, Kacey Musgraves, Leslie Odom Jr., Pitbull, Michael Strahan, Meghan Trainor and more. As the dance company moves into its second century, the organization is committed to ensuring that dancers from all backgrounds see themselves represented on the Great Stage. As part of this commitment, the Rockettes continue to open education and training opportunities to more dancers through a robust, no-fee dancer development program – including Rockettes Preparatory, which was new this year, and Rockettes Conservatory® – and by establishing strong relationships with dance organizations such as The Ailey School, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Harlem School of the Arts, and International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD). Over the past five years, more than 500 dancers have participated in the Rockettes dancer development programming, with 59 of those dancers going on to become Rockettes themselves – joining a sisterhood that transcends generations. To honor the thousands of women who have kicked up their heels on the Rockettes line over the last century, the dance company launched Rockettes Legacy™ earlier this year with the mission of fostering lifelong connections for all former Rockettes and preserving the Rockettes extraordinary history through a living archive. All former Rockettes are encouraged to join Rockettes Legacy and share their story at to contribute to the ever-growing archive of photos, videos and first-person stories about their time on the line. Radio City Music Hall and the Christmas Spectacular provide a variety of accessible offerings so more guests have an opportunity to enjoy the magic of Christmas. Through an ongoing partnership with KultureCity, the Chris & Veronica Jackson Sensory Room and sensory bags that contain fidget tools, noise canceling headphones, and other resources are made available at all performances of the Christmas Spectacular. Audiences at every performance can also access closed captioning on their personal devices via VITAC, and additional accessibility programming is offered at designated shows each season – including open-captioned, audio-described, and American Sign Language-interpreted performances, as well as a sensory-friendly performance in partnership with TDF.

Andy Cohen Says 3-Year-Old Daughter Lucy Is Potty Training at 'a Glacial Pace'

Andy Cohen detailed his 3-year-old daughter Lucy's struggles with potty training The Bravo host previously shared that Lucy only asked for underwear for her April birthday Cohen said Lucy and her older brother both moved at "a glacial pace" when it came to potty trainingAndy Cohen is ready to be done with diapers. The 57-year-old father of two opened up about his 3-year-old daughter Lucy's potty training journey during the Friday, June 13 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, which he co-hosted. 'Lucy's on an underwear journey,' Cohen, who is also dad to 6-year-old son Benjamin, shared. Host Jenna Bush Hager asked, 'So she's sort of graduated from the diaper?' Cohen said that while he celebrated his daughter's 'diaper graduation,' in an Instagram video on May 28, it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing since that time. 'I was always told that girls were smarter and they picked things up quicker,' Cohen quipped. 'She's at the same glacial pace that her brother was at.' But Cohen also sympathized with his daughter, sharing, 'Listen, I have a small bladder, now that we're oversharing. I live in a doorman building. There's a bathroom behind where the doormen work. It's my favorite spot in New York City. It's my safe zone when I can't make it up in the elevator.' He jokingly added that his doormen 'know what's up.' The Bravo host noted that Lucy asked for underwear for her third birthday in April, sharing a video in May of her receiving some from the diaper brand Coterie to celebrate her diaper graduation. Opening up the package, Lucy asked her dad, 'Do you love it?' to which he replied, 'I do love it. Do you love it?' prompting her to say, 'Yes.' The single father is preparing for this Sunday's Father's Day, which, unfortunately, won't be much of a celebration for him. 'I'm gonna be tortured all weekend. Isn't Father's Day supposed to be when you rest and are celebrated?' Cohen asked on Today. 'I'm flying to St. Louis to take the kids to see my family, and then I think I will be spending much of Father's Day in airports and on the plane.' But Cohen shared his own plan for Father's Day, saying, 'I just had a great idea. I'm gonna book a massage on Sunday night.' is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Back in December 2024, Cohen opened up to PEOPLE about his two kids and their battle for his attention. "Ben is love bombing me so much, and Lucy also is so — any quality time that she and I get alone without Ben, she's so excited about," Cohen said. "I took her to the doctor today and she talked about it like I was taking her to, you know, see the Rockettes. She's like, 'Daddy and I — just Daddy and I — are going to the doctor, just Daddy and I.' So she's very much daddy's little girl." Read the original article on People
