COURT HOUSE – The 128th Edition of Cole Bros. Circus of the Stars features all the acts and attractions that make this classic, American circus a favorite, family tradition.
Amazing animals featured in the 2012 performance include Asian elephants, Judit and Juergen Nerger’s Splendid Tigers, and Abuhadba’s “Dressed for Success” French Poodles. Romania’s Cretu Family, with extraordinary springboard gymnastics and a breathtaking Russian Barre routine, headline this year’s show. Lana & Company, from Kazakhstan, add their magical touch to the Circus with Quick Change and Grand Scale Illusions. Suspended by their locks, “Hair-ial Artists” Wendy and Petya rise to the heights of the hippodrome in poised and polished perfection. Daredevil turns include the Globe of Death, El Pendulo Loco and The Human Cannonball, who bursts from the barrel of The World’s Largest Cannon at 5g velocity. Masters of mirth, members of The Bermudez Troupe lead the way in filling the Big Top with laughter with their joyous clown capers.
