The St. Louis-born Radio City Rockettes are set to appear on an episode of Project Runway airing on September 20 at 8 p.m..
It comes as a surprise to many St. Louisans that the famous New York dance troupe actually began in St. Louis in 1925 as the Missouri Rockettes. In 1925 a New York City talent scout saw them and took them to New York. By 1933, the 16 original Rockettes morphed into the Radio City Rockettes.
Also, don't miss the Rockettes when they make a stop at the Peabody Opera House for their classic Radio City Christmas Spectacular from Nov. 8 through 17. In the new finale, the Rockettes will each wear a costume with 3,000 Swarovski crystals.
