You might be onto something there.......an all boy can-can or man-can if you will. Theres a comedy angle there, especially in scotland as the kilt could double up as a can can skirt. Perhaps a braveheart intro with orpheus fused in at the end as a kind of comedy scottish haka. Just an idea...... i'll get some boylesquers involved. Always a place for the can-can, it rocks.

Strangely enough, last year we met a group of wheelchair bound men in Glasgow after a High Tease show and they suggested that they could form a paraplegic can-can troupe!!!

Unfortunately we had to poo-poo the idea because there was a risk that their can-can skirts might have gotten stuck in axles of their wheelchairs!!!

Oh whoops. Other people may have got it. I've already left the house and returned which is far too much for me at this early hour of the day!

Oh this HAS to be done! Especially if most of the high kicks were done to the side instead of front on to the audience, so you have them wondering what you're actually wearing under the kilt....and at the end of your haka you could do the big reveal (probably wearing some sort or comedic pantaloons...or not....) It HAS to be done!
