The New Shanghai Circus was founded in 1991 as a touring company from its parent troupe, the Shanghai Magic Troupe in Shanghai, China.  It's been an upward spiral ever since with more than 80 tours around the world including a 1998 stint on Broadway with 28 sold out performances - and it now finds a permanent second home in Branson, Missouri!
