Overview
His Majesty's Theatre
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
For 50 years, the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (affectionately known as “The Trocks”) has been delighting audiences of all ages at sell-out performances featuring their fabulous sense of fun and their flawless dancing.
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.
There will also be a post-show Q&A following the performance on Friday 19 June. Chaired by Hayley Durward from City Moves, the Q&A will be with Artistic Director Tory Dobrin, or the Associate Artistic Director Master Raffaele Morra. This Q&A session will be open to everyone who has a ticket and will be held in the auditorium directly after the performance. The Q&A will last approximately 20 minutes.

Ballerina Boys
This is the story of little boys who wanted to grow up to be ballerinas. And did.
Ballerina Boys celebrates the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (affectionately known as “the Trocks”) who have been delighting audiences of all ages with their fabulous sense of fun and flawless dance for almost 50 years.
This film tells the story of the company, past and present, in all their dazzling, sassy glory, as well as exploring issues of gender, inclusion, social justice and LGBTQ+ history. Originally from New York, the Trocks were inspired by the Stonewall riots of the 1960s, endured the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and continue to be adored across the world for their hilarious and highly skilled homages to classical ballet.
Enjoy this film for free on Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage until 6 July 2026 to mark Pride Month in June and to celebrate Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo’s opening at Sadler’s Well ahead of coming to His Majesty’s Theatre as part of Dance Consortium’s UK tour.
