Dream Big
EXPIRED
$15-$95 in mezzanine, box and ringside seating
For its 34th season the Big Apple Circus presents Dream Big, an all-new show, where international circus artists are presented under an intimate Big Top, and no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring.
International Clown Hall of Fame inductee and Big Apple Circus star Barry Lubin performs his unforgettable clown Grandma in this farewell tour. Other acts include a juggler with a suit to fit his sweet feats of fancy handiwork; a mechanical doll who comes alive in a sinuous balancing act; spirited horses, frolicsome dogs and a capybara and porcupine to perk up the sawdust party.
There are audacious acrobats who astound with athletic grace and comical conjurors with magical moments of grand illusion! The Flying Cortes of Columbia show off their daring on the trapeze. A singing Ringmistress and the Big Apple Circus Band create ringing melodies.
See the circus website for exact times and dates and to purchase tickets.
