Universoul Circus

Why see Universoul Circus?

A New Type Of Circus

Laugh, dance in the aisles, and be amazed by world-class acts from around the globe, including Chinese aerialists, pretzel twisting contortionist, pampered pooches, tigers that'll have you roaring, and more!

There's no doubt about it - the 243 year history of the modern circus has finally been reborn in the form of UniverSoul Circus, nationally recognized for its unique brand of high energy audience interaction and thrilling circus artistry. Whether you're dancing in the aisles with the Ringmaster; rapping to The Sugarhill Gang; volunteering for the "UniverSoul Circus Soul Train Line"; singing 2,200-part harmony with the kids to Sponge Bob Square Pants, or enjoying a musical finale with the entire cast line-dancing to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' - there's something for everyone to interact with at UniverSoul Circus, recently proclaimed by a youthful online fan as "The Awesomest Show Ever!"

Founded by Cedric Walker the journey began in libraries, first researching African American entertainment from the turn of the century until today. He came across a single African American owned circus operating in 1893 and envisioned hip-hop musicals, a return to vaudeville and animal acts. That's when the decision was made to create a new entertainment complex - a full-blown circus complete with its own big top tent.

FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT!!!

Universoul Circus is the greatest show on earth! I was soooo excited to hear they didn't have animals in their acts anymore. The show was STILL by far the very best! The stunts and acrobats had us on the edge of our seats! The ringmaster surely knows how to keep the attention of the crowd, the dancers and flippers will have you grooving in your seat, and the cyclists were bad @$$! And it was nice and cool inside! From the performers to the set up crew, EVERYONE did a phenomenal job! We're looking forward to their next performance in Dallas! We can hardly wait! ... Read more
