The 2010 Memphis Circus Spectacular Presented by the United Children's Leauge

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- The Agricenter International Show Place Arena roars to life with tantalizing tigers, enchanting elephants, and dramatic daredevils as the legendary Carden Circus rolls into Memphis for one thrilling weekend.  Passionate performers from 15 countries will dazzle circus fans with new, amazing feats in the biggest and best Circus ever to come to the AgriCenter.  Special discounts are being offered that allow a family of up to six to attend this world-class event for only $36!

The Memphis Circus Spectacular is the only interactive circus in the world! This year’s show includes the opportunity of a lifetime, as audience members are welcomed into the circus rings before, during intermission, and after the circus to meet the stars, ride ponies and elephants, and take photographs.  The Circus is throwing a Pre-Party for all who wish to hobnob with local celebrities, or for those who just love to clown around!

Michelle Audrey, is delighted to act as emcee on behalf of the Children’s Miracle Network and United Children’s League, “This is a show that is all about family fun and creating memories.”  The Espana Family Daredevils ride custom motorcycles to conquer a tightrope and tempt the Wheel of Death.  Prepare to cover your eyes! Bo the Elephant performs amazing tricks with his bevy of pachyderm babes under the celebrated direction of trainer Larry Carden.  Weighing in at almost 6 tons, Bo is a big star!  Lloyd’s Old English Sheepdogs are anything but a dog-and-pony show.  Combining comedy and renowned animal training, this act is a crowd favorite, paws and hooves down. The Georgettes are a talented troupe of showgirls who weave dance and music into artistry.  Literally, these beauties wrapped only in aerial silks will soar to the very top of the CenturyTel Center.   Never wanting to leave the best for last, the circus opens with an adrenaline pumping tiger act from Bruno Blaszac’s Bengal Tigers.  How do you make 8 tigers dance and jump through a fiery ring?  “Very carefully,” explains Bruno.  

The Memphis Circus Spectacular is the hottest ticket in town!  The United Children’s League is pleased to offer affordable family entertainment, and many past attendees call the show a perfect “stay-cation.”  Tickets are $12 for Child General Admission (12 and under), $16 for Adult General Admission and $22 for VIP Floor Section.  Tickets may be purchased the day of the event at the Agricenter Showplace Arena box office.
