Don’t miss the circus
TALENTED 19-year-old singer/dancer Elly Rowbotham was born to entertain.
While many young children across the country dream of ‘running away and joining the circus’, the happy-go-lucky teen has done just that…but with the full support of her Brisbane-based parents.
Elly joined the Great Moscow Circus in January this year and is currently enjoying its tour of Australia – including the current visit to Warrnambool.
“Being part of the circus life is just amazing,” she said.
“I have always loved to sing and dance and to entertain so this job is the perfect fit for me.
“We’re like one big travelling family; we get to see some wonderful places and I’m working alongside a great team of professional, friendly people.”
The all-new show features some of Australia’s top BMX and scooter riders, exciting trampolinists, the Russian Swing, along with the world’s best dare devil motorcycle cage riders.
“Each show runs for about two hours and provides non-stop action that everyone will enjoy,” Elly said.
“Whether you bring your kids or your inner-child you’ll have a great time.
“Our current season started on January 1 with a tour of Hobart (where we visited four towns) before going to Geelong and now Warrnambool. From here we will travel to Mt Gambier.”
Originally planned to set up at the Warrnambool Showgrounds, the ‘big top’ can be found on the Princes Highway, next to Bunnings and Rebel Sport.
“We’re all really looking forward to entertaining audiences here in Warrnambool, with our opening night tonight (Friday) at 7pm.”
Performances are also scheduled for 3pm and 7pm Saturday, and 11am and 3pm Sunday.
Next week’s shows: Wednesday (April 24) 7pm, Thursday (April 25) 3pm, Friday (April 26) 7pm and Saturday (April 27) 3pm and 7pm.
The final show will begin at 11am on Sunday, April 28.
