In a Nutshell

Under a giant fabric tent, an animal-free cast sings, dances, flips, spins hoops, and tears around a giant sphere on motorcycles

The Fine Print

When the circus comes to town, it brings a much-needed dose of magic and wonder to a humdrum routine of work, school, and wizard uprisings. Rush out to greet it with this GrouponLive deal to see Circus Vargas at Ports O’Call Village. For $12, you get one adult ticket for bleacher seating (up to a $25 value, including all fees). Choose between the following showtimes:

  • Thursday, December 6, at 7:30 p.m.
  • Friday, December 7, at 7:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, December 8, at 1:30 p.m.

Doors open 30 minutes before each performance. Children aged 1 or younger do not require a ticket.

The first thing people notice about Circus Vargas is its big-top tent. Hand-fashioned in Milan from 90,000 square feet of cerulean-blue fabric dotted with yellow stars, the canopy completed the illusion of an elegant lost era when used in the 2011 film Water for Elephants. The last thing people notice is the absence of animals. They're too busy gaping at a man balancing a 12-step ladder with his mouth.

Keeping its marvels strictly human, Circus Vargas builds on a 40-year history by blending classic feats of fearlessness with surprising new tricks. Acrobats flip through the black-lit air above the crowd in green-and-purple tights. A woman effortlessly keeps dozens of hula hoops spinning as she goes through multiplication tables in her head. Motorcyclists barely avoid upside-down collisions as they barrel around the inside of a sphere, and, among other daredevils, human cannonballs boom from one end of the big top to the other.

The Groupon Guide to: DVD Commentary Reveals

DVD commentaries can be fonts of behind-the-scenes trivia about all your favorite flicks. What are some secrets we learned from watching the special features?

  • Only half the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were real dinosaurs.
  • Robert De Niro is a joy to work with, really gets to know everyone on set.
  • The reason there are so many Batman movies is because the mask lets producers cast interchangeable nonunion stuntmen that are cheap and easy to knock around.
  • Marty Scorsese is a joy to work with, takes time to get to know people.
  • The special effects in Toy Story were done with computers.
  • Claymation skeletons are a joy to work with, spend a lot of time sword fighting folks during breaks.
  • Star Wars is based on a true trilogy.
