The Big Apple Circus When: October 22, 2009 - January 18, 2010 Where: New York City From the website: "BELLO IS BACK! under the Big Apple Big Top performing breath-taking feats of humor in the theatrical focus of one ring with no seat more than 50 feet away! It seems like only yesterday that this daredevil clown made his hair-raising New York debut with the Big Apple Circus. He’s been a big star all over the world ever since and was named "America's Best Clown" by Time Magazine. Bello is joined by a world of stellar circus stars: Spain’s juggling artiste, Picaso Jr., Russia’s Aniskin Troupe who catapult to the top of the tent on trampoline and soar across it on trapeze. For sheer beauty our very own aerialist Regina Dobrovitskaya rises through the air on shimmering ribbons. Equestrians Christine and Sultan get your heart pounding as they straddle galloping horses Roman style, and wait till you see what our company members can do with a pack of whacky dogs rescued from shelters! Of course there’s more and for an extra measure of love and laughter, there’s our very own Grandma. So do like Bello—come on back! The Big Apple Circus is your circus, Big Apple is back in town!
