Excelsior has something for everyone. Circus strongmen, decked in leopard skin print and sporting Edwardian moustaches, link muscular arms for some cute little dance moves; polystyrene rocks bounce around the stage as pickaxe-wielding dancers create the Mont Cenis tunnel between France and Italy; ballerinas dressed as Grenadier Guards – with black bearskin hats but white tulle tutus – trot around the stage waving Union Jacks; there are lampshade tutus covered in lights, steamboats and electric trains, bellhops carrying fluorescent telegrams… it is fantastically silly and delightfully satisfying!
