This little circus came to town in January 2026 and I thought I would give it a try because it was…read morebasically a mile from my house in the Broward Mall west parking lot. I took my mother and my adult daughter on a Wednesday night. We had handicapped seats, which were first come first serve, so I wanted to arrive early and get a good seat. We arrived about an hour early, and were able to park just steps from the entrance.
When we walked in, we saw a room full of concessions : soda, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, and all of the usual circus foods. There were only about four other people inside the big tent, and we were worried that it was going to be an empty house. Little by little it started to fill up and it got to be about half full. The handicapped seats were really good, lower level center, about five or six rows back. Before the show and during intermission they had vendors coming around selling the cotton candy, popcorn, soda, and also chocolate covered apples, chocolate covered, strawberries, and all kinds of light up toys that were catching the eyes of children. There were a few children there, but not too many since it was a Wednesday night.
The show started pretty much right on time. There were dancers, jugglers, and acrobats and all kinds of dazzling costumes. They opened up with a big production with many people, and then went into an act with an aerial performer who swung by her arms , her feet, her hair and who also juggled while suspended. There were several different acrobatic acts, men and women in groups completing daring feats of balance and all sorts of gymnastics that included platforms, ladders, and even blindfolds. They also had a modern clown who entertained the crowd between acts. During intermission dancers and acrobats walked around selling novelties and taking photographs that they would try to sell. (I doubt anyone got out of there without spending an extra $15-$10). Overall it was very entertaining and something a little out of the ordinary. I know they had special prices for children....so don't miss it if Cirque Italia comes to your town!
