The Rockettes weilded swords and mimed mock suicides, then set the swords down on the stage.

You really couldn't take a bad picture of the troupe.  Every picture seems to be an instant classic.  The body painting is by Venantius Pinto.

The torn taupe fishnet loincloths combined wildly with Elizabethan collars and classical dance movements to create a very unique and arresting performance.  Bravo!
