Rockettes are high-kicking through 100th anniversary with street renaming and more: ‘A huge honor’
NY Post
It’s the Rockettes’ way.
Fans of the famed Radio City Music Hall dance troupe will get a high kick out of New York City’s big tribute to the dancers as they mark their 100th anniversary.
On Friday morning, The Post can exclusively report, the Big Apple renamed the stretch in front of the venue “Rockettes Way,” installing a sleek black-and-white sign with bright, gold lettering and a special anniversary logo at the corner of 50th Street and Sixth Avenue. It’s a timely celebration of the troupe’s centennial after kicking off the 2025 season of the beloved “Christmas Spectacular” on Thursday night.
City rules regarding street signs are notoriously strict, but when the Rockettes’ owner, MSG Entertainment, called the NYC Department of Transportation and asked for a special-edition sign, the DOT answered “yes” quicker than you can say “Christmas Spectacular.”
A crew at the DOT Sign Shop in Maspeth, Queens, hustled to turn around the custom creation within three days, right in time for Friday’s scheduled unveiling outside of the legendary Midtown theater.
The workers even created a limited-edition batch of 25 “Rockettes Way” street signs, available for purchase at $100 each, from NYC’s CityStore.com.
