This year’s entourage from China includes a full-time cook, several coaches/teachers, technicians, propmaster, carpenter, costume designer and other staff members. They've joined their talents to create a fast-paced production that brings the Orient to Branson!

The New Shanghai Theatre was specially designed to accommodate this unusual and elaborate production, as well as to integrate the ancient history of China with modern Chinese architectural style. The new theatre features elements cascading waterfalls, Chinese gardens, rare chiming stones, and a sculpture of Chinese Bronze Ware that is approximately 3,500 years old.

The New Shanghai Circus was founded in 1991 as a touring company from its parent troupe, the Shanghai Magic Troupe in Shanghai, China. It’s been an upward spiral ever since with more than 80 tours around the world including a 1998 stint on Broadway in New York that played before 28 sold out performances – and now a permanent second home in Branson, Missouri!
