FL!P Circus Will Kick Off Its 2023 National Tour In Westchester

YONKERS, NY — The giant red and white big top, the smell of cotton candy and the drum roll as the spotlight pans to high-flying daredevils will once again usher the magic of the circus to town.

For a special few weeks, there will be no need to travel through time and space to grab a popcorn and experience the thrills in person , but when the "circus train" moves on to the next town, the parking lot at the Cross County Center will once again just be a parking lot.

FL!P Circus, the big top experience that drew huge crowds across the country when it debuted last year, will launch its 2023 tour in Yonkers. The all-new production, created by the Vazquez family, will feature favorites from last year’s show along with new international acts that promise to amaze and amuse.

The show will launch its second year-long national tour at the Cross Country Center in Yonkers, from March 3 – 20. Tickets are on sale now.

During last year's debut tour, audiences and critics were wowed by the new circus brand's energetic show which takes place under a distinctive red and white, 800-seat, climate-controlled big top tent with each seat within 50 feet of the ring. Organizers says that the front row is so close that those sitting there often find themselves being brought right into the ring to be part of the fun.

"There is nothing quite like live entertainment and Fl!p Circus celebrates the great American circus tradition that has brought families and friends together to celebrate life and create fun, lasting memories for over 200 years," according to the modern-day carnival barkers at Fl!p Circus. "Audiences are invited to leave their cares behind and enter a world where the laughs are plentiful and the wows only stop when the show ends."

Ringmaster Arthur Figueroa, who began his career as a Ringling Bros. clown, will serve as host of the new circus adventure, which features acts guaranteed to amaze:

• Stiv and Roni Bello - Italy’s "siblings of silliness" - will return to weave their outrageous comedic antics throughout the show.
• 4th-generation performer Carolina Vazquez from Mexico will gracefully perform high above the audience on a single trapeze.
• Columbia’s Duo Vanegas will defy gravity, their own safety, and your expectations on the rotating 30-foot "Wheel of Steel."
• The Bello Sisters from Italy, who amazed audiences on America’s Got Talent, will dazzle with their incredible body-bending, handstand skills.
• From the U.S., the Super Tumblers will present a fast-paced display of agile acrobatic dexterity.
• The Bingo Troupe (completely different group from last year's show), from the Ukraine, will present a new high-energy display of dance, acrobatics and unicycle that will fill the tent with their boundless exuberance.

The entire production will move to the beat of the live FL!P Circus Band which will provide the soundtrack to all the fun.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets start at $25 for children and $40 for adults, with senior/military/handicap discounts available. Tickets will also be available in person at the box office during each engagement.
