Omnium Circus to Make Its Live World Premiere Under The Big Top At Tysons III
Audiences will be wowed by incredible performers who have each overcome their own challenges in life to make their dreams come true.
Omnium Circus will debut its live show under the big top tent opening at Tysons III, in Tysons, Virginia, from November 18 through January 9, presented in partnership with Lerner Enterprises. Initially launched during the pandemic as a critically acclaimed virtual spectacle, the not-for-profit Omnium Circus is now part of the long-awaited return of live entertainment. With this unique production, Omnium’s world-renowned, unprecedentedly diverse and multi-abled cast and crew are poised to bring joy and inspiration to audiences of all ages and abilities. Tickets are on sale now for the live show as well as for the virtual show which The New York Times proclaimed, “Genuinely extraordinary.”
Led by the powerful presence of Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson, Omnium Circus brings together the most awe-inspiring, unforgettable cast of circus superstars who invite audiences into a world where all things are possible. In the intimate setting of a climate controlled big top tent, no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring. Audiences will be wowed by incredible performers who have each overcome their own challenges in life to make their dreams come true.
Omnium Circus stars the latest generation of the legendary España family featuring Noe España and Marcos Ponce exhibiting strength and balance with the breathtaking Wheel of Destiny, along with Vivien España wowing from above with her one-of-a-kind head-balancing trapeze and aerial lyra performance. The next generation joins with Noemi Lee España, who will dazzle with her hula hoops as her brother, Elan España, astounds with his ‘how’d he do that?’ Diabolos act. Navy veteran Jason Span will display his impressive award-winning strength and grace atop the high pole while aerialist Jen Bricker Bauer, who was born without legs, soars above the ring defying gravity with her musician/husband Dominik Bauer accompanying her in an awe-inspiring presentation. World champion acrobatic gymnast Shenea Stiletto’s strength and dexterity is certain to inspire Olympic hopefuls. Mr. & Mrs. G’s exacting crossbow skills will have audiences holding their breath while America’s Got Talent semi-finalists, The Chicago Boyz bring their incredible jump rope acrobatics to the Omnium big top. Rob & Miss Jane’s comedy variety act and the incredible comedy of the Muttville Comix will have the crowd laughing out loud. Brandon Kazen-Maddox, Omnium’s poet and a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), communicates through American Sign Language (ASL), teaming with Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson to guide audiences through the show.
