Acrobats of China featuring the New Shanghai Circus

Now appearing at the New Shanghai Theatre, 645 State Highway 165, just south of Hwy 76 between the Shake It Up Showplace (formerly The Ain't Misbehaving Theatre) and Coffelt Country.

In its 12th season in Branson (2009), the Acrobats of China celebrate the exotic wonders of China with a fast-paced, exciting production with beautiful backdrops, state-of-the-art lighting and beautifully designed costumes.

The Theatre was invested in and built by parties from China and the United States, and it is managed by Chinese staff independently. With its unique style of modern Chinese architecture, the theatre has 1000 seats and features modern lighting and sound equipment.

The stage is of the most popular widescreen design. The outside walls of the theater are decorated with blossomed flowers and cascading waterfalls. Beside the waterfall are huge posters of the show. In the center of the parterre is a bronze ware of more than 2 meters high from Xi'an, exhibiting the unique visual enchantment of eastern culture.

You'll see elegant eastern dance, dazzling acrobatics, mysterious magic, mystical music, and more. Over 40 Acrobats bring the Orient closer to Branson, while showcasing Jar Juggling, Hoop-Diving, Daring Trapeze, thrilling aerial ballet, and exotic spinning plates in this huge production show. Exotic backdrops, state-of-the-art lighting, and breathtaking performances in this fast-paced, exciting production celebrating the exotic wonders of China.

The New Shanghai Circus is a spectacular extravaganza of over 40 Acrobats of China bringing the Orient to Branson.
