You’ll be entranced by this live contemporary circus presentation that lasts for two hours, and blends sensational circus and physical theatre with poetic imagery and explosive glamour.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas
From Saturday 17 December to Monday 2 January 2017 you’ll be able to enjoy a musical extravaganza featuring the music of superstars Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins.
