by Taz6 on 4/10/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoWas not sure what to expect going in, and left fully entertained. Great circus acts, stunts, acrobatics, tricks, and wonderful entertainment. They really did take you back to the golden age of the Circus. Wish this was in town longer so I could get more friends and family to go.

by MMKK9 on 4/2/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI went to see the production because I found the ad intriguing and was interested in the animal puppetry. I had studied LeCoq in Europe and immediately recognized the pedagogy in the production but had not encountered much of it in American productions. The piece was absolutely enchanting and the era in which it was set lent it a romantic air. I was in awe of the performers and marveled at the reaction of the audience - the adults (of which there were many) were more entranced than the children! Definitely a production one should experience if at all possible.

by BC2010 on 3/31/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoCircus 1903 was simply wonderful entertainment! The acts were spellbinding. We took our granddaughters aged 8 and 10 and all four of us were thrilled. There were acrobats, jugglers, aerial acts and a remarkable contortionist! For us there was a bonus of NO CLOWNS. One of the girls is terribly afraid of clowns and we were fearing a move to a new seat, but the ushers on aisle 3 assure us that there weren't any clowns. The Oriental Theater is a beautiful venue and our seats gave us the feeling of an intimate old time circus!

by Couch on 3/29/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI wasn't sure what to expect, thinking maybe it was a play or musical about the circus. But, it was more like just going to a circus. Great performances. Entertaining ringmaster.
