Rio Grande Valley residents will be the first to experience the all-new amazing production of Flip Circus (FlipCircus.com), when it plays Texas for the very first time! It will launch its national tour at Palms Crossing (3300 W Expy 83) in McAllen from February 6 – 23.
The incredible show, created by the Vazquez family of Circus Vazquez fame, features the marvelous talent and quality production values that Rio Grande Valley families have come to expect from the Vazquez. With only 800 seats in its climate-controlled tent, and none more than 50 feet from the ring, Flip Circus is a more intimate experience than its larger counterpart. Every audience member will feel as if they’re part of the action in this contemporary version of the great American circus tradition. At Flip Circus, families will enjoy two hours of awe-inspiring, death-defying, hilarious and affordable fun.
The performers are the heart of the circus and Flip Circus features some of the finest from around the world. Illusionist Jimmy Saylon of Italy will astound with his mind-bending magic, while Ukraine’s Misha will get audiences laughing with his madcap brand of outrageous comedy. America’s own, Dede Larible, is an eight-generation circus superstar who has dazzled audiences around the world with his incredible juggling prowess. Spain’s Alexander Lichner is a two-time Guinness World Record holder who has won numerous international awards for his incomparable skills defying gravity on the single trapeze. The Kung Fu Boys, direct from China, combine martial arts mastery and acrobatic artistry that must be seen to be believed. An international collaboration of artists from Mexico (Jan, Carolina), the U.S. (Mia), and Ukraine (Margarita) presents a brand new mini trapeze act that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats with their heart-pounding and breathtaking performance. The soundtrack to all this fun is the live Flip Circus Band which weaves together a magnificent musical tapestry accompanying each act. And once the show is over, the audience is able to meet many of the stars who just entertained them.
Performances are at 7:00 pm on weeknights and 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on weekends. For discounted tickets and additional information, please visit FlipCircus.com. Tickets start at $20.88 (children) and $31.16 (adults) with senior/military/handicap rates available. Tickets will also be available in person at the box office starting February 2 in McAllen.
