This very talented American all-male drag ballet corps which parodies the conventions and clichés of romantic and classical ballet are on tour and playing at several venues in the State including the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami on March 4th.
The much-beloved group originally formed back in 1974 (and who said gay men never stick to anything …) and last year was the subject of an exhilarating documentary that too picked up numerous awards when it was first released.
