The all-new production of Flip Circus will bring its distinctive red and white striped climate-controlled big top to six locations in the Chicago area from June 19 through Sept. 14.

This inaugural Chicago tour will make stops in Vernon Hills, Aurora, Gurnee, Lombard, Schaumburg and North Riverside. Flip Circus is a brand new big top entertainment experience created by the Vazquez family of Circus Vazquez fame, according to a news release.

With only 800 seats in its climate-controlled tent, and none more than 50 feet from the ring, Flip Circus is an intimate entertainment experience where every audience member will feel as if they’re part of the action. Families will enjoy two hours of awe-inspiring, death-defying, hilarious and affordable fun at this contemporary version of the great American circus tradition.

The performers include an illusionist, comedian, jugglers, trapeze artists, martial arts, acrobats and more.

The soundtrack to all this fun is the live Flip Circus Band which weaves together a magnificent musical tapestry accompanying each act. And once the show is over, the audience is able to meet many of the stars.
