SHOW: Dare to visit the creepy Circus of Horrors?
Dublin People 25 Mar 2016THE show that stormed into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent and is now a West End smash is back to mark its 21st anniversary in spectacular style.
The last few years has seen the profile of The Circus of Horrors jump tremendously after rampaging into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. To this date it is still the only circus ever to reach the finals.
Last year saw another giant leap for the show when it began a series of dates in London’s West End, becoming the first circus to appear in a West End Theatre for 100 years.
Last year the show returned to The Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.
The latest incarnation ‘Welcome to the Carnevil’ is set in Victorian London in 1899.
Jack the Ripper is still at large. It is the age of the Freakshow, when a young girl dreams of running away to join the circus only to see her dream become a nightmare in a decrepit and corpse ridden Carnevil, plagued by a swamp of ‘Killer Klowns’, sword swallowers, demon dwarfs, death defying aerialists and a a Guinness World Record holding ‘Hairculian Diva’.
The Circus of Horrors is in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on Tuesday, May 31.
