Everything seems to be going wrong at Circus Allegro. Bruno the Bear refuses to appear on stage, his assistant, Bella Stella, has disappeared, and finally, even the tiger escapes! Circus director Ricardo Grande has to improvise constantly. Luckily, his new assistant, clumsy August the Clown, always has a brilliant idea just at the right time. Despite all mishaps, the audience gets to experience a splendid circus evening. And in the middle of all the excitement, the tiger and Bella suddenly reappear. The audience is swept off its feet. Wherever the world-famous Circus Allegro appears, audiences shed tears of joy and are enchanted – visually, acoustically and emotionally.
The individual numbers of this children's musical are composed in different styles and the songs can be performed either with an orchestra or just with a piano.

Composer
Peter Schindler
| 1960Composer, pianist and organist Peter Schindler writes and performs music for ballets and theatrical performances, films and dramatic recordings, instrumental and choral arrangements, chansons and sacred works. He is particularly passionate about his compositions for children and young adults, which has come to comprise hundreds of humourous children’s songs (Kinderhits mit Witz). His full-length musicals include Geisterstunde auf Schloss Eulenstein (Witching Hour at Eulenstein Castle), Max und die Käsebande (Max and the Cheese Gang), König Keks (Cookie King), Zirkus Furioso (Circus Allegro), and SCHOCKORANGE. These musicals are some of the most frequently played pieces of their kind by children’s and youth choirs in German-speaking theaters and schools. With his first English musical Circus Allegro, Peter’s hugely sucessful work for all kids under 100 is now also accessible to audiences around the world.
