The UK’s biggest and most spectacular Big Top show, Gandey, comes to Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire with an all-new action-packed star-studded production for all the family! There will be over 30 international circus artistes – from Cuba, Kenya, Colombia, Mexico, Ghana and the UK to entertain you as they join forces to create a spectacular production presented by Hayley and Mariska, the fourth generation of the famous Gandey family’s circus dynasty.
Performing high in the roof of the Big Top, The Gerlings walk, dance, and ride a bike on a single silver thread. The award-winning circus stars Duo Garcia perform acrobatics on a soaring rocket. Their very own ‘rubber man’ from Tanzania contorts into shapes you didn’t realise were possible. Their courageous Cubans launch themselves into the air performing incredible acrobatics off the springboard. Jacqui and Brandon delight with a romantic aerial ballet on the silks, and Gina displays mystical artistry and poise on the low wire. Acrobats balance, tumble and bounce with amazing dexterity on a five-inch wide Russian bar… there’s electrifying rhythmical excitement from the tumbling African Warriors… and bellyfuls of laughter as Europe’s favourite clown Chico Rico returns by popular demand! Top it all off with adrenaline-fuelled antics in the space wheel, and four motorbikes in the ‘globe of death’. With production numbers inspired by the glamour and glitz of West End musicals, featuring over 200 lavish costumes in our new fully-heated Italian big top theatre of a Million Dreams, this truly is The Greatest Show!
