Shanghai Circus- Amazing Acrobats have been entertaining audiences of all ages for over thirty years in the United States, including two six-week Broadway engagements.

Recognized as being one of the best acrobatic shows currently touring, the Shanghai Circus introduces young people to the magic of theatre and performances of the highest caliber by trained athletes, jugglers, aerialists and contortionists. The acrobatic acts found in the show have been preserved in their original form and can be traced all the way back to traditional performances at the annual harvest festivals in Shanghai over 2,500 years ago.

From the dangerous climbing chair stack high above the audience to the hoop-diving acrobats who take the stage with gravity defying feats of strength and balance, all performances illustrate the absolute thrill of the Chinese Circus and offer a refreshing alternative to the popular Western traditions. As the New York Times writes, “these acrobats provide feats of circus art that reach breathtaking heights of skill.” All these and more surprises complete a marvelous and totally exciting event for theatre going “youngsters” from nine to ninety-two.
