- Two dancers from Utah joined the company for the centennial run, describing the experience as stepping into a living legacy at Radio City Music Hall.
- The audition pipeline remains highly competitive, with thousands trying out and roughly 80 dancers selected for the season’s cast.
- After casting, performers complete a six-week intensive to prepare for more than 100 shows in less than two months, with weeks reaching up to 17 performances.
- During the stretch from November to early January, the show can run as many as five times a day, underscoring the production’s demanding pace.
- Official postings list a $2,884.95 weekly base under AGVA contracts that provide health insurance and optional 401(k), with no housing or travel, and many dancers hold off-season jobs and appear at events such as the Tony Awards and the VMAs.
