Circus 1903 defines it all as one of the best overall shows for this must see- Preview, Tickets, Post Coverage
I had the pleasure to just see Circus 1903 and WOW it was fantastic. All 10 acts were superb and they could have all won America’s Got Talent. This very family friendly show is playing through February 19th but keep an eye out as this is not to miss. The MC/Host is so funny and he incorporates kids as part of his act that will leave you laughing in stitches. The show also includes wonderful puppet giant sized elephants as part of the act. However you will be amazed at the talent of everyone as I have seen many Circus shows in my lift and this ranks up there as one of the Best Ever.
