Big Top Aftershocks: Big Apple Circus Arena Tour Crashes Before it Opens ... All Dates Cancelled

UPDATE, 6/18:  Here's a link to a remarkably revealing article about Big Apple Circus's current travails, which appeared yesterday in the Philadelphia Inquirer.  A friend of this blog sent it my way.  Rather amazing to see a major newspaper digging as deep as this report does.  Kudos to Ellie Rushing.

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - The Big Apple Circus said it has canceled its shows in Albany next month.

The Albany Civic Center announced the shows back in April.

The circus was set to do an arena tour this summer, performing in Albany during the first week of July.

The civic center posted on Facebook that the circus cancelled its arena shows to “reconceive the tour.”

The civic center said that if you’ve already bought tickets, you will get a full refund.
