'The Greatest Showman' has left many people longing to see a circus show in person, especially here in Malaysia.
From breath-taking acrobatics to jaw-dropping aerialists, wouldn’t it be incredible to see these amazing talents perform right before our very eyes?
Well, if that is your wish, then you must have done something good recently because your wish has been granted.
For the first time ever, the Moscow Circus will be making its way to our part of the world with a never-before-seen circus show featuring a large pool of talented circus acts!
So, here are some reasons why the Moscow Circus should be your first circus experience.
Russia has been known for decades as the capital of circus arts. For more than 100 years, Russian circus talents have been thrilling audiences across the globe with spectacular performances that are full of power, artistry and world-class athletic skills.

The Moscow Circus will bring together troupes from two of the most celebrated Russian circus companies, the Bolshoi Circus and the Nikulin Moscow Circus. So, this is your chance to experience the world-famous Russian circus tradition for the first time in Malaysia!
The highlight performers include master juggler Semen Krachinov, the Moscow Circus clown Armen Asiryants, the Dubynin Duo acrobats, the Tokmachev Troupe trapeze artists, the Romanov Duo roller skaters, the Moskalov Duo illusionists, the Svezhov Duo high wire walkers and the Skokov Troupe Russian Swing acts.

There will be nearly 40 professional circus acts in total performing an array of disciplines. Getting these international artists to come together all the way to Malaysia was no easy feat as they are all highly sought-after around the world. The two-hour programme is entirely curated for the Malaysian audience, so each performance is exclusive and never-before-seen in other parts of the world!
Although this will not be the first time a circus performs in Malaysia, the Moscow Circus will be a whole new experience for one big reason – the Big Top. The entire show will take place under a full air-conditioned Big Top that can seat up to 2,700 people! It is no doubt the largest circus tent to ever exist in Malaysia.

So, if you thought that you’ll have to sit through the heat and humidity in a small tent like the one you saw in The Greatest Showman, you will be proven wrong.
The legendary circus will make its debut in Malaysia with performances in a sensational nationwide tour in 10 cities across seven states for up to eight months! Beginning with the first show from 10 August to 2 September, the Moscow Circus will be performing at Padang Timur, Petaling Jaya.
