An all-male comedy ballet danced by 19 prima dancers from 7 countries around the world.

Humour in classical ballet is hard to find, and this is one reason for the enduring popularity of this fabulous troupe of male ballerinas.  Direct from New York, Les Ballets Eloelle’s latest international production Men In Tutus is the most spectacular, talented and hilarious all-male comedy ballet ever!

Men In Tutus will open at the Teatro, Montecasino, on Thursday 11 April and will run for four performances only, until it moves to Cape Town, the Artscape Opera House from 18 to 21 April 2019.

Classical ballet likes to take itself seriously, which may explain why you don’t get many comedies on the ballet stage. Yet those of us who love tutus and tiaras also like nothing better than to laugh with the hairy man-ballerinas!

Under the direction of Artistic Director Victor Trevino, Men In Tutus has just returned from a hugely-successful Australian tour.

From the thrilling pirouettes of the male dancers (in male and female costumes) with brilliant choreography to the side-splitting humour, all presented in specifically-designed lavish costumes, Victor Trevino’s Men In Tutus is a show designed for men, women, the young and old.

The combination of brilliant dancing technique, tongue in cheek humour with intentional foibles and dancing mishaps creates great entertainment.

Les Ballets Eloelle’s Men In Tutus is the ultimate send up of both classical and contemporary ballet.
