‘Wild and extreme’ Great Moscow Circus returns to WA

It’s been three years since the Great Moscow Circus has toured WA. The circus was grounded in 2021 thanks to COVID and forced to bide its time while the pandemic continued to sweep the nation. But a brand new show is just around the corner and tour marketing manager Mark Edgley believes it’s their best one yet. “It’s extreme and it brings the ‘wow’ factor to audiences,” he said. “One of the biggest attributes this time around is the BMX riders; these guys are talented freaks and defy gravity. “The show as a whole is a great mix and caters to all ages.” The Great Moscow Circus first visited Australia in 1965 with the help and support of the Edgley Organisation and has continued every three to five years in Australia and New Zealand. Mr Edgley said the new show aimed to bring joy to the community after the impact of COVID. “You walk out with a smile on your face,” he said. “People have had a lot of suffering these last couple of years and when you come to the circus you can let your hair down and clap, cheer and laugh, let go of everything and have some fun.” The Great Moscow Circus will visit Rockingham from August 4-21.
