Audiences will experience a cultural celebration filled with rhythm, soul and extraordinary performances.
A family favorite with global appeal
Rated as one of Ticketmaster’s “Top 10 Most Requested Family Events,” UniverSoul Circus has entertained over 25 million people with its unique blend of circus arts, theater and live music. The show spans genres including R&B, Latin, hip hop, jazz, gospel, pop and the infectious beats of world music. The diverse cast of performers, representing five continents, promises to dazzle and entertain with their acrobatic feats, comedic antics and cultural displays.
More than a performance, UniverSoul is a shared experience – an exhilarating, all-ages celebration where audiences from every background come together and feel like one big global family.
“Our Rhythm of the World production celebrates not only the world’s top circus performers, but also the unity of people from all walks of life. It’s a powerful reminder of the universal values of love, respect and togetherness,” said Cedric Walker, founder and CEO of UniverSoul Circus.
A beloved, budget-friendly, interactive experience
Described as “not your grandfather’s circus,” UniverSoul is known for its engaging and interactive experience, where audience members of all ages become part of the show. Whether it’s participating in a game of Simon Says, showing off dance moves during the Swag Surf or joining the Soul Karaoke spotlight, the crowd is always in the spotlight. Kids are invited to join Fresh the Clowns in the Big Top Kids Dance contest, while everyone enjoys the high-energy music and playful atmosphere.
With themes of unity and understanding, UniverSoul Circus fosters valuable lessons, encouraging children to honor their parents, be good students, and embrace love and tolerance.
Additionally, last year’s circus attendees praised the event for its affordability ("money well spent!"), the variety of performers and the educational experience of showcasing flags from the performers' home countries. Many also referred to it as one of the "best family events ever" and urged organizers to "return next year!" This year, circus goers are raving about the well-rounded talent and fun vibe, noting, “Its beautiful to see different cultures and people come together,” and “We were all BIG KIDS under the BIG TOP.”
