The name ain't French, and that should tell you something. This is an old-fashioned, rootin', tootin' night at the circus. Clowns, jugglers, trapeeze artists, equestrians and equestriennes flaunt, flip, and finagle their way into children's hearts and dreams.

Here's how the producers describe this year's show, Play On!:

If music be the food of love, Play On!

So begins the Big Apple Circus 31st season (and coincidently, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.) The music is a jazzy mix of classical, rock and soul; the food is popcorn and; young and old will love our all-new show, Play On! - a symphony of astonishment and humor propelled by the best band in the land!

Of course, the circus is the thing and Play On! features the world's finest circus artists under the Big Apple Big Top performing in the theatrical focus of one ring with no seat more than 50 feet away.

So don't waste a beat, pick your dates now and bring the whole family! The Big Apple Circus is your circus, Big Apple is back in town!
