What: Big Apple Circus
Where: Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park,
W. 62nd Between Amsterdam & Broadway
New York, NY
Who: All ages
When: Through January 15, 2024
Even though Nik Wallenda of the famous daredevil family of highwire artists is still part owner of the Big Apple Circus, this year he did not perform in the circus himself as he has the last few years. Instead, the Big Apple Circus teamed up with Circus-Theatre Roncalli for a new production called A Journey to the Rainbow. Circus-Theatre Roncalli is a European circus that has been around since the 1970s.
While there were acts similar to acts that have appeared in The Big Apple Circus before including jugglers and a couple of trapeze artists none of the specific performers or groups were familiar from previous years. However, it is unclear if all of the performers were from Circus-Theatre Roncalli or if any of them had actually previously performed with The Big Apple Circus. Either way, the performances were all very enjoyable. Performers also included a woman who juggled with her feet, a clown magician, and many more.
Unlike in previous years, however, there was no ringmaster and none of the acts were introduced before they performed. In the last few years there had even been videos before each performance where you got to know a little about the performers in their own words and how they came to be a part of the circus. Without this, the show lost a little of its intimacy and the feeling that you were really getting to know the performers. However, it is still an exciting show full of breathtaking stunts and amazing performances, and it is still quite entertaining for all ages.
