REVIEW: Tutu | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023


"Slapstick humour with smattering of beautifully poignant performances to boot!"

Bringing you a colossal collision of dance and comedy is the show, TUTU, with an all-male cast of 6 dancers, embellished in ever-changing, flamboyant costumes.


Paying homage and irreverence of an industry that tends to take itself too seriously, the 6 Chicos Mambo dancers prove that they too have the elegance and poise to perform Swan Lake (all be it a hip hop version), as well as an awkward Dirty Danc[ing].


Slapstick humour a plenty in this show, with a smattering of beautifully poignant performances to boot.


With effective lighting and sound effects, awesome performances by men in tulle and tiny pants, TUTU is on pointe.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE

For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.


From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.


The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.


There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
