The Circus Is Coming To Town

Comedy, wondrous feats, and nail-bitingly daring acrobatics are coming to Queens this month.

All the carnies of the Big Apple Circus will be in Cunningham Park to perform between May 22 and June 17.

The 2011-2012 season production is called "Dream Big." Big Top is promoting all of the following for the engagement:

A mechanical doll who comes alive in a sinuous balancing act! Spirited horses, frolicsome dogs, and a capybara and porcupine to perk up the sawdust party! Audacious acrobats who astound with athletic grace! Comical conjurors with magical moments of grand illusion! The aerial daring of the trapeze flyers! A singing Ringmistress and the Big Apple Circus Band creating the ringing melodies of memories to last!  And Grandma!!  Yes, Grandma, apogee of comical aspiration and mirthful joy! Your dreams will inspire a Big Apple Circus of living thrills and marvelous delight — a celebration of the imagination — an astonishing circus world of wonder!

They also say that no seat is farther than 50 feet from the ring. Check out our review of .
