"Circus Contraption's Grand American Traveling Dime Museum," the hit show which wowed audiences in New York City, San Francisco and Seattle over the last two years, returns to Magnuson Park this July for a final, limited two-week run in Seattle before making its triumphant return to New York City later this summer.
This is positively the LAST time the Dime Museum's Collection of Exhibits will be seen in the Great City of Seattle, Washington. Featuring Miracles of Man and Nature, Curiosities of the Past and Marvels of the Modern Age, a veritable Confectionery of exquisite Novelties is guaranteed to educate and entertain the genteel Visitor: - Fanciful Fauna Formations! - Audacious Dancing Girls! - Masterly Aerial Feats! - Acrobatics both fiendish and melancholy! - And as always, outlandishly original Musical Arrangements of the First Quality, performed by the unparalleled Circus Contraption Orchestra! Designed to stimulate all aspects of the Human Organism, the Museum offers a unique experience for every constitution.
Circus Contraption, Seattle's own one-ring Circus and pre-eminent Amusement Institution, has earned the acclaim of critics on both coasts:
"The show offers enough moments of pure genius to make even the most hardened urbanite pine for old, weird America. DON'T MISS!" TimeOutNY
"...chances to see shows this fun come along rarely at best." NYTheatre.com
"...an impressive array of talent, discipline and ingenuity." Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"With great finesse and greater theatrical timing, the troupe evokes the humor and wonder of... an earlier time." San Francisco Weekly
This full-circus show, featuring live aerial acts, acrobatics, juggling, dance, physical comedy and original circus music, opens with a discounted preview performance on Thursday July 13 and runs Thursdays through Sundays through July 23: TWO WEEKS ONLY. A Champagne Gala fundraiser for the New York run of "Dime Museum" will highlight the performance on Saturday July 22. This event includes a champagne reception, live and silent auction, and dancing on the stage to the Circus Contraption Band following the performance. Tickets for the Gala run $40 to $100 with special gifts for every donor level.
Don't miss your FINAL OPPORTUNITY to see this amazing show on the West Coast!
