NextImg:Double vision: Rockettes Christmas Spectacular features two sets of identical twins

When 25-year-old identical twins Caitlin and Courtney Sullivan auditioned for the Radio City Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular in August, they never considered what would happen if one of them didn’t get the gig.

“Going into [the audition process] it was always like, ‘It’s going to be the both of us,’”said Courtney. “We’re very much into manifesting good things and using positive energy only.”

“We didn’t need to have a conversation [about it], because we know each other on another level,” added Caitlin. “It feels like we can read each other’s minds.”

Their “twin telepathy,” as they call it, was on the money.

Both made the cut and can be seen on the Radio City Hall stage in this season’s holiday extravaganza, which opened Friday for its 90th season.

It’s a dream come true for the Bergen County natives, who first saw the high-kickers perform at age 9.

Before auditioning this past summer, the inseparable duo — who are only distinguishable by a small freckle on Caitlin’s left cheek — participated in the Rockettes Conservatory.

The week-long intensive training in ballet, tap and jazz is hosted by top choreographers at Radio City each year.

The Sullivans are part of a double-double in this year’s show.

Identicals Sarah and Katie Daniel, 25, are sashaying across the stage for their fifth season.

“Being a Rockette is such a unique experience, especially being a twin,” Katie, a Michigan native, told The Post. 

But, none of the twins will take the stage at the same time as their sibling, a decision made by show executives to have a balance of heights and abilities in each performance.

Sarah will be kicking up her heels with Caitlin for the matinees, while Katie and Courtney will own the night. 

The separation is part of the fun.

“We get to watch each other on stage,” said Katie, adding that her favorite number to see Sarah perform is the “Dance of the Frost Fairies,” which features drones that fly over the audience. 

“The Rockettes are sisters, so for the two of us to be sisters among this sisterhood is really special,” Sarah tells The Post,

“To see dance her on Radio City’s stage is something that I can’t put into words,” she continued. “I’m her number one fan.”

“It’s a beautiful thing,” added Sarah.

When they’re not busy clapping for one another, the carbon copies are constantly reminding their cohorts and choreographers who’s who. 

Both sets of twins tell The Post that New Yorkers are often fascinated by their identical resemblances.

“The most challenging part is that we look alike and that people do mix us up sometimes,” said Katie. “There’s confusion, but it’s a lot of fun.”

“This is where we wanted to be,” she continued. “We’re actually living the dream.”
