“As a young dancer, growing up in Poughkeepsie, NY, I always wanted to stick out, be up in front (get some laughs).

Then, I got the most famous dancing job in the world where I had to fit in, stay in line (be quiet).

In my one woman show, I can take center stage (no other cast members), play my characters based on some of the real life Radio City crew, sing original songs written by the incomparable Jack Mezzano, get into shape showing off my eye-high kicks, and tell you what it was really like to be a Rockette—not what the Radio City PR machine tells you.” — Jen
