★★★★★Amanda GeorgeI just spent so much time writing out a detailed review and when I uploaded all my pics, it crashed and deleted it so I’m going to try again! I always thought I was “anti circus” because of the stories I’ve heard about the mistreatment of animals but this circus is DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. It’s small, intimate and feels like another time. And you can tell they really care for their animals. (Horses and poodles), no exotic or endangered animals which I appreciated. Six talented performers and one thing I noticed is that every one of them helped set up or work the event at some point. It seemed like real teamwork and a very humble group of talented, talented people. I encouraged everyone to go and we will go again!! Such a magical experience.
★★★★★Jack AxtonFirst off this circus travels, so use their website to check when they will be available in the area. This is a classical, intimate circus experience. The performers are masters in their art and the animals are treated humanely and with great care. The show is about an hour and a half total with a small intermission, and there is constant entertainment between each act to the point that you hardly notice the transition between acts. My arms were actually tired from clapping, and for those with a fear of clowns there is a single gentleman in Auguste makeup (more reserved european style) and he does not act clownish, so those who enjoy the circus but fear clowns should be able to handle the experience just fine. If you're an introvert, be warned that ringside seats may experience some light audience participation (performers interacting with you, not dragging you into the ring), so find a seat further in the stands if you want to just watch. Speaking of, the seating arrangement is small and well thought out that even those in the back upper seats and see everything clearly.
★★★★★David EngleWe saw them in the Argenta district of North Little Rock and had an amazing time. The performers clearly love what they do, and the environment was very family-friendly and a higher class than I expected. We will happily see them again when they come through!
★★★★★Perri WalzOur family of 6 adults went to the winter circus and LOVED it! The atmosphere was great and the performances were enchanting and funny. 10/10 would go again!
★★★★★BJ ThornIncredible. We were blessed to see this production in Franklin TN, we went back for a second night. It was so incredibly beautiful. You can absolutely tell they put their heart and soul into all of the performances. I looked around the audience and saw so many smiling happy face, diversity in the crowd and just let me forget about the world outside the tent walls for a moment. If you have the Piccolo Zoppe circus anywhere within driving, flying or floating distance..Go! Its so worth it!
