Big Apple Circus Metamorphosis is a Must See Show!

At Dulles Town Center September 18 - October 5

By Tonia Sanders September 30, 2014
METAMORPHOSIS is a "must see" show. I had the pleasure of joining the Big Apple Circus audience with my family and watching the show we were absolutely amazed. What you would expect to see in a three ring circus they presented in one, and it was a wonderful experience for the kids. I had never attended a one ring circus before and I thought the show was exceptional. I was amazed at what the Big Apple Circus was able to do in a tent. The set for the show was simple yet creative and the performers were very talented. What I enjoyed most was the Big Apple Circus focused on the best parts of what a circus has to offer. They brought it all together in one ring under one big tent and really wowed the audience.

This show is a quality show that is perfect for children to see. Every seat under the tent has a great view of the ring and the environment was family friendly. 

My children loved being drawn in by the performers. Some audience members participated in the show after being invited into the ring. The show lasts two hours, but time flew because we were having such a great time. I would love to see the show with my children again. I will definitely take my family back to see future shows that the Big Apple Circus brings to Northern Virginia.

Why should you take your kids to the show this week?

They will love the animals trained by Jenny Vidbel. They'll be amazed at the flexibility of Tatevik Seyranyan and Odbayasakh Dorjoo. They'll see camels and a porcupine and have fun counting numerous dogs and other animals magically appearing from one small box and so much more!

It's amazing what this circus can do and I highly recommend you grab the kids and have a family night out at the Big Apple Circus enjoying the METAMORPHOSIS show!
