Celebrating its 25th year, Piccadilly Circus delights family audiences around the country with its touring spectacle of suspenseful thrills and slapstick laughs. The 90-minute extravaganza rolls out such death-defying acts as motorcyclists somersaulting through the air on their bikes, contortionists impossibly bending their limbs, and middle-aged men cutting back on their sodium intake. A menagerie of exotic animals also moseys across the arena floor, with an elephant balancing its leathery bulk on one stout foot and a rare white tiger prowling before the crowd. As cirque artists, soaring aerialists, and zany clowns unpack their bags of tricks, spectators may feel pangs of regret about youthful decisions to run away from the circus and enroll in actuarial school.
Though Piccadilly Circus offers a buy-one, get-one promotion and a coupon for free children's admission, this Groupon still represents the best deal.

The Groupon Guide to: Classic Beatles Songs
The music of The Beatles is nothing short of an American treasure. Here is a listening guide to the best of the best of The Beatles:
"Yesterday:" Listen closely to the singing on this classic track and you can tell that it was originally sung backward and then reversed to give the impression that the singer was traveling back to “yesterday.”
"A Day in the Life:" This song has a classic Beatles easter egg. Listen closely and you can hear Ringo say “Oops!” 37 times, one for each time he dropped a drumstick.
"The Big Song:" Classic The Beatles. Here they are doing what they do best. Notice how the trumpets stop and are replaced by actual elephants at the 22:46 mark.
"Doctor Donkey’s Dirigible:" This tune from their experimental phase has two imaginary drum sets on it.
"Tubthumping:" Who would’ve thought that 30 years later The Beatles would still be on top of their game?
