Family circus show that mixes daring acrobatics and balancing acts with live vocals and musical theatre classics.
Cirque: The Greatest Show comes to The Alban Arena on Sunday 9 May 2027, starting at 18:00. It's a family production that sits somewhere between musical theatre and the circus, with the two running side by side rather than one taking over. The show threads daring acrobatics, balancing acts and live vocals through a soundtrack of musical theatre classics, and international circus artists share the stage with live singers.
On the circus side, you'll see acrobatics and balancing acts. On the musical side, the songs are sung live, not played from a recording, and the whole thing is built around those musical theatre classics. The two parts are woven together, so the singing and the circus acts happen as part of the same show rather than in separate blocks. It's described as a family production, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult.
