Ballet is beautiful, sure, but what if it were also funny? Les Ballets Trockadero asked and answered that question over 50 years ago with the troupe’s inception in New York City. Affectionately known as the Trocks, this all-male troupe appeals to ballet enthusiasts as well as novices for their skilled en pointe routines combined with hilarious parodies of classics like Swan Lake. Their demanding international tour schedule means they don’t come this way often, so don’t miss the Trocks’ only night in town. – Kat McNevins
