When we embraced the Spoleto Festival, we were asked to list the events that we specifically wanted to usher for and tonight's was one of the top on my list (not so much Steve's).

Described by Sunday Magazine Australia Meet Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, or as they're affectionately known, the Trocks. And should there be any lingering doubt, there's not a woman among them - despite the high quota of tutus, tiaras and tights onstage. In the words of their online blurb, the show is -a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti. Or, to put It bluntly, ballet performed by blokes in drag.

Indescribable isn't a powerful enough word to sum up tonight.  What an evening of phenomenal talent and immeasurable entertainment.  Those blokes can dance!  I spoke with  a woman who was a ballerina and she repeated what we have read over and over, the Trocks have true ballet skills and technique that compares to any famous ballet troupe.  They just happen to be ballerinos!   With comedy and talent, they kept us mesmerized for over two hours!
