I couldn't stop smiling at the absolute joy that showed with their performance. From their Swan Lake through to a. Fruge take off to the Irish Dance curtain call, I was fascinated. I am just thrilled I have been able to see them live and hope to be able to see them again. Happy 50th Anniversary.
I really wanted to see these artists, but in the end the performance was so, so. May be I am conservative, but I really did not like the parody on the theme of the Dying Swan. I definitely wouldn't go to this show for the second time.
I enjoyed the show. Having seen many iterations of the show, I did enjoy the older versions better. All the new guys are very talented, however it is more like a traditional drag show. The older versions were more like manly men in tutus who could also really dance.
Great entertainment! We enjoyed the music, costumes, and dancing. These guys are so expressive and such wonderful performers!
These men are so talented. They have to be to perform such difficult choreography. They are also enormously funny. One negative - the piano blocked our view at one point. It was only for a short time, but we missed a few fun things.
Dancers were superb in their abilities, but the short dances were long and drawn out. I was disappointed that I was bored.
This was so much fun, I took my young kids and we hit the jackpot. They had such a good experience that it will be so easy to take them back to a Ballet show. I recommend it.
This was my third time seeing them with my husband and the fourth time for me. We always love them. But, this year was different. It seemed that the players were younger and while they were good it didn’t have the same rapport as in the past. It lacked some of the comedy that comes with age in an actor/dancer. For example, the dying swan…just did not have the impact as it did in the past. Also, a small thing, but there was no brochure handed out or playbill and it helped to read along with the names as the announcer spoke…but without it a lot was lost on the audience because you couldn’t understand what was being said. The dancers are amazing but they lacked the tenure of the past players and I don’t know if I would go back.
I saw this show 21 years ago in New York and enjoyed it immensely. And now I had the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent dancers and new compositions. And my favorite Swan losing its feathers is magnificent!
Love the Trocks...I treated a friend to night out. She was amazed by the technique the dancers displayed while enjoying the humor in the performance. For myself, it was so worth it to see them in person. I highly recommend everyone seeing the Trocks in person at least once in their life time.
