Circus Vargas presents The Big One Is Back. Under their new big-top tent, Jon Weiss of CBS's Amazing Race welcomes audiences to an all-new show featuring some of the world's greatest circus performers, including trapeze artists, jugglers, acrobats, death-defying stunt performers and of course, lots of world-class clowns. Recently featured in the 20th Century Fox motion picture Water for Elephants, Circus Vargas is a classic American circus, dating back to 1969 and featuring a real big top tent. The performances are animal-free, instead bringing together the best human acrobatic, daredevil and entertainment acts of the world under one big tent.

This was okay, I guess I wasn't too into the circus. I did like the clown and the audience participation, and the guy who balanced various items on his chin, that was pretty cool!!!

I would have liked to know in advance that there are no animals at all. My kids were anxious to see the elephants that never came out..... Why is it called "The Big One" if its very small? the performers are good but its a lot of repetition and the small kids get bored after a while... i would not go again..
