The circus is coming to town the circus is coming to town! BIG APPLE CIRCUS is thrilled to announce that it will once again be performing at the National Harbor of Washington DC February 14th thru March 24th and that a real-life wonder women will take the reins of the 41st season, led by new ringmaster Stephanie Monseu!
Would you like to win VIP tickets and see this amazing performance?
The show will feature a new Mirror Room VIP experience leading into the Big Top tent, with craft circus treats and entertainment for all ages. World-renowned for its one-ring, intimate and artistic style – where no seat is more than 50 feet from the performers – BIG APPLE CIRCUS is passionate about revitalizing the circus for modern-day audiences with unique and astounding human feats in the ring and enough sizzle outside the ring to entertain guests from the very moment they enter. This year, audiences will pass through the Grand Entry into BIG APPLE CIRCUS where adults and children alike will experience new pre-show thrills and sample a dizzying array of culinary delights!
Upgrades to the food selection include bespoke circus classics and divine cocktail creations by one of the nation’s top mixologists Pamela Wiznitzer (three-time “American Bartender of the Year” nominee). In addition to tasty bites and bevies for the general public, the VIP Experience in the Mirror Room is peppered with eye-popping fun activities and photo-ops galore. The 41st season promises another extraordinary show filled with BIG APPLE’s roster of superhero talents, ready to incite jaw-dropping awe and sheer joy in audiences of all ages. Ringmaster Monseu will be joined in the ring by a multitude of fierce female-led acts and more, including: • The “strongest mom in the world” Virginia Tuells & her husband Ihosvanys Perez in DUO FUSION, a breathtaking acrobatic act that combines dance, strength, flexibility and passion in which Virginia handles a majority of the lifts • The wildly fun SPICY CIRCUS, created by Andréanne Quintal, whose team of performers will (literally) bounce off the walls in her feisty trampoline act • THE FLYING TUNIZIANIS, a double wide trapeze act showcasing seven fliers & two catchers in addition to the quadruple somersault by Ammed Tuniziani – a feat only successfully landed by ten people in the world – alongside his wife Estefani, brothers Gamal & Dandino and more • DESIRE OF FLIGHT, a daring and balletic dual aerial straps act • A free-standing ladder balancing act by Emil Faltyny • For the first time in America, the gravity-defying horizontal juggler Victor Moiseev • Fan-favorite Jenny Vidbel, third generation circus animal trainer and seven-year veteran of Big Apple Circus • The hilarious Mark Gindick & Adam Kuchler Outside of the ring, BIG APPLE CIRCUS will continue to honor the essential & iconic characteristics that has set it apart for the past four decades, with multiple community outreach programs.
