Circus Smirkus, Vermont’s award-winning international traveling youth circus prepares for its 20th Anniversary Tour with an all-star line up of youngsters and a full-on swinging and spying escapade called The Zoot Suit Caper: A Boogie Woogie Whodunit. The story revolves around a 1940’s traveling circus and a mischievous stunt by a mysterious culprit as someone douses the lights and the stage goes black. Chaos ensues as a bumbling band of detective clowns step in to solve the Whodunit mystery amidst the circus’s 20th Anniversary Tour celebration featuring dazzling dance moves, heart-pounding ground routines and astounding aerial acts. The result is an amazing, foot-stomping, action-packed, family friendly adventure that’s sure to bring hearty laughs to mixed-age audiences. Complete with juggling, tumbling, high wire, trapezes of many varieties, clowns, and live original music by Boston’s own Peter Bufano, this is a show “not to be missed!”
