History of Big Apple Circus
After working as street performers in Europe, Paul Binder and Michael Christensen returned to New York City and founded the Big Apple Circus which debuted in 1977. Begun as an alternative to the glitz and spectacle of the American three-ring circus, Big Apple Circus has epitomized the intimacy and artistry associated with the European one-ring circus. Many of the world’s greatest circus acts have performed under the Big Apple Circus Big Top. Each year a new show with a new theme is created by many of the world’s most creative directors and designers. Join us in celebrating our 48th year under the Big Top!
