Thing 1: Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is coming to Tacoma's Pantages Theatre on February 11.

This group of 15 male dancers posing as Russian ballerinas brings a new spin to classical ballet. The “Trocks” perform with dazzling technique and outrageous humor. The male dancers perform en travesti; performing roles usually reserved to females, wearing tutus and dancing en pointe.

Born and bred in Off-Off-Broadway loft spaces, the Trocks' patented combo of campy humor and hardcore ballet skill has amazed audiences all over the world. Full info on the one-night-only Tacoma show here.
