TUTU - West End History , Info & More

Peacock Theatre
Portugal St, Holborn London

Join TUTU on a hilarious journey where incredible dance skills and inventive parody intertwine seamlessly. Choreographed by Philippe Lafeuille, this playful new perspective shatters stereotypes and makes dance accessible to all.



Featuring an all-male cast of six dancers decked out in ever-changing flamboyant costumes, TUTU pays homage to the dance world that can sometimes take itself a little too seriously. Yes, a bare-chested tutu-clad man can perform a stunningly graceful pointe solo!



This comedic dance show lovingly mocks the classic tutu, traditionally only worn by women, by introducing the unique TUTU trousers. The company skilfully parodies more than 40 characters, becoming icons of classical ballet, contemporary dance, and rhythmic or acrobatic dance. Audiences are taken on a hilarious whirlwind ride as they witness a hip-hop version of Swan Lake, a clumsy take on Dirty Dancing, and a dainty version of The Haka.



Celebrating its 10th anniversary on tour, TUTU continues to delight audiences around the world!
