Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
Do the words 'the Trocks are coming' make you smile in anticipation?
Then get ready to grab your diaries and start circling the dates when you can again be amused and amazed as the all-male divas of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (or 'The Trocks' to their friends) return to the UK following their last sell-out visit.
With one foot in farce and the other in classical ballet, their dedicated tootsies shoe-horned into size 10 pink satin pointe-shoes the Trocks return return with a fabulous new programme, a lorry load of costume changes and lashings of diva attitude.
Winners of the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards and the TMA Theatre Award, The Trocks' combination of pure comedy, extraordinary technical prowess and genuine love of ballet has made them a global phenomenon since they formed in New York in 1974.
