The Big Apple Circus is to perform from March 31 to May 6 at Boston City Hall Plaza. It all began in Kent, England, in 1974, when American entertainers and Big Apple Circus co-founders Paul Binder and Michael Christensen became juggling partners and took to the street corners of Europe. Their comedic juggling act was a hit, and they soon found themselves on the stage of the prestigious Nouveau Cirque de Paris. They returned home to the U.S. in 1976 with a vision: to entertain and improve the lives of millions. One year later, they found a site in Battery Park, New York, and went on to create the award-winning, not-for-profit Big Apple Circus. They say their performance is rooted in tradition, but their commitment to kids and families is a vision truly their own.
