The New Shanghai Circus presents a revolving line-up of favorite acts such as Diablo (Chinese Yo-Yo), Bicycle Tricks, Pole Climbing, Russian Bar, Aerial Fish Ballet, Adagio, Plates Spinning, Magic Clock, Roller Skating, Handstand Art, Human Top, Chair Stack and more.  Each year, the troupe adds new performers who have won national and international competitions.  The show combines extraordinary and inventive feats of strength and skill, control and balance.

The New Shanghai Theatre was specially designed to accommodate this unusual and elaborate production, as well as to integrate the ancient history of China with modern Chinese architectural style.  The new theatre features cascading waterfalls, Chinese gardens, rare chiming stones, and a sculpture of Chinese Bronze Ware approximately 3,500 years old.

    Shanghai was a surprise!

    by shanghaisurprise on 7/25/09The New Shanghai Theatre - Branson

    These are very talented individuals. They make the acrobats and drums seem so easy that you almost don't appreciate what they are performing! They are amazingly talented! The price is right and the length is perfect....

    An extaodinary display of agility and balance

    by cazper on 7/17/09The New Shanghai Theatre - Branson

    THis was my second time seeing the show. I was totally blown away the first time I saw the show and thought the second time would be not as thrilling. Well I was wrong, much of the routine was new, fresh and creative. As before all routines were flawless. I will go see them again next year and highly recommend this show to anyone visiting Branson, I would say it is a Must See.

    Acrobats of China are amazing!

    by Carolina71 on 7/15/09The New Shanghai Theatre - Branson

    This group of acrobats were some of the most talented people we've seen. They never make mistakes and have so many tricks and stunts up their sleeves. They also perform very musical and precise numbers with fabulous drumming skills. Our 8 year old son was as impressed as we were too so it was a great family show!

    Super family event

    by NancyCM on 7/15/09The New Shanghai Theatre - Branson

    I took my 5 and 7 year old granddaughters and they loved it. I also greatly enjoyed the evening. We were fortunate to have 2nd row seats which made the event all of the more enjoyable. The girls really enjoyed meeting the acrobats after the show and getting their autographs.
