Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to Columbus to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.

CAPA welcomes Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo to the Palace Theatre (34 W. Broad St.) on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 7:30 pm.

Tickets, which start at $20, go on sale at 10 am Friday, September 12, and may be purchased at the CAPA Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.), online at www.capa.com, and by phone at (614) 469-0939.

Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, began by appearing in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts for small audiences who appreciated the iconoclastic humor of it all. In the over 50 years since then, the company has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who, each season, flock to theaters throughout the world to see these prima ballerinas perform.

Revered by ballet aficionados as well as the uninitiated—those who don’t know a plié from a jeté—the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” Sydney Star Observer.
