Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Tue 16 - Wed 17 Jun 2026

Venue: Festival Theatre

For 50 years, the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (The Trocks) has been delighting audiences of all ages at sell-out performances featuring their fabulous sense of fun and flawless dancing.

An international treasure

Originally from New York, the Trocks are now loved world-wide for their sassy spoofs and hilarious homages to classical ballet, where the dancers each transform into two personas, both ballerina and danseur!

Every performance frivolously froths with tutus and testosterone, blush-pink ballet pumps, fierce false eyelashes and prima ballerina attitude. However, what makes this company extraordinarily special is their immaculate technique and daring physicality, surpassed only by their impeccable comic timing.

“One of the most unusually gifted dance companies in existence.”
The Stage

“We came to laugh, but we stayed to worship.”
The Telegraph

“The funniest night you’ll ever have at the ballet!”
The Guardian

“The Trocks may show you how to laugh at ballet, but they also teach you to love it.”
New York Post
