London Circus at Coliseum Opens with Grand Mardi Gras Show

Tar Great Loxpon Snow and Dockrill's Parisian troupe bring a London style circus to Boston, offering tiger cage feats, four-horse riding, aerials, live animals, and a grand minstrel segment. Mme Elise Dockrill and James Robinson thrill with bare back artistry while a diverse cast performs gymnastic acts, acrobatics, and clown humor. The menagerie features noble big cats, elephants, zebus, and birds, with special attractions and a seaworthy voyage tale by Captain Crapo. Two daily performances this week with afternoon shows advised to avoid crowds.
