Circus Allegro

Following the great success of this musical in German, it is now also available in English. Everything seems to be going wrong at "Circus Allegro". Bruno the Bear refuses to appear on stage, his assistant, Bella Stella, has disappeared, and finally, even the tiger escapes! Circus director Ricardo Grande has to improvise constantly. Luckily, his new assistant, clumsy August the Clown, always has a brilliant idea just at the right time. Despite all mishaps, the audience gets to experience a splendid circus evening. And in the middle of all the excitement, the tiger and Bella suddenly reappear. The audience is swept off its feet. Wherever the world-famous "Circus Allegro" appears, audiences shed tears of joy and are enchanted – visually, acoustically and emotionally.
