Yesteryear comes alive again with the arrival of Legendarium, the world premiere of the latest Big Apple Circus extravaganza. It promises a vicarious trip to the golden age of circuses, when the circus coming to town was the most exciting event of the year.

West Hyler, the director of Big Apple Circus, comes to his role from a theatrical background, most recently as associate director on Broadway for “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Jersey Boys.”
