Giffords Circus is setting out to bring its new show, Xanadu, across the UK, including visits across the South West.

Nell Gifford and Cal McCrystal have reimagined Giffords Circus as a psychedelic pleasure dome for their new 250-date UK tour opening this Friday 3rd May 2019.

“Xanadu is one big party and we want audiences to engage with their inner hippie and be wowed by the amazing feats of human strength and achievement and be part of something really special!” said Cal McCrystal, Director.

The pleasure dome has been created by acclaimed production designer takis and draws heavily from both 60’s and 70’s influences. The music is hypnotic and exciting and acts as a device to lure the audience into the show, with a finale that is a psychedelic spectacle, and will have everyone dancing in the ring in true Giffords tradition.

Xanadu opens this Friday, 3rd May and runs until 29th September 2019. There are 13 venues across the UK to see the new show and tickets start from £10 children and £15 adults. For more information and to book visit www.giffordscircus.com or call 01242 691181.
