I loved it! I took my son and he enjoyed it as well. He was called on stage at the begging of the show and that now all he talks about.

by PenrodFam on 3/26/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoWe bought tickets for Circus 1903, which was playing at the Oriental Theater during the week we were in Chicago. The performances were masterful! It was at times beautiful, inspirational, and hilarious!! Our family particularly enjoyed the juggler, the Flying Finns, and the Italian brothers. The Ring Master made the show for us! It's a must-see!

by WJRobinson on 3/25/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoThey are able to recreate the thrill of a circus within the confines of a traditional theater. It is a wonderful show for the whole family.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Better than expected!
by Dakota74 on 3/25/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoI was admittedly skeptical that this show would hold my interest. But it was actually VERY entertaining. The "glue" of the narrative was the Ring Master, and he was outstanding. Even including some very charming audience participation activities with children from the crowd. The performers were eager, enthusiastic, high energy, and quite professionally accomplished. I did not expect to love it - but I did. Well done to cast and crew!

by Vermonter52 on 3/24/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - ChicagoThe theatre was filled with energy as we waited for the circus to begin and we were not disappointed. The ringmaster was delightful, his interaction with the children in the audience was spot on. The acts were given the respect they deserved, very talented performers. The elephants were dynamic making it easy to forget they are puppets. Peanut was so playful and a bit naughty just the right mix. My biggest complaint was that the experience ended too soon, there was no big finale and I left wanting more. This show is still in a test/trial phase and I look forward to attending another show after it opens on Broadway. If you love a circus, don't miss this, thecircus in its prime

Rating: 5 out of 5 Fun for the entire family
by amt318 on 3/24/17Oriental Theater - ChicagoThis is a show for the entire family no matter what their age. It's like going to an actual circus with amazing circus acts. Everyone was fabulous. The contortionist was great and made me cringe with the way she twisted her body. The ringmaster was fantastic. He pulled 4 kids up on stage and one kid stole the show. It was absolutely hysterical. There were a ton of kids there but because it's packed with entertainment the kids were quiet and mesmerized. This a great show to take young kids to, to introduce them to theater.
Rating: 5 out of 5 So much fun!
