Cirque Niagara reopens its big tent

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    True to its word, Cirque Niagara has pitched its tent for a second summer in Niagara Falls.

    When this high-flying Russian circus was announced last year, naysayers wondered if it would happen. When it opened, there were doubts it would survive. When it wrapped up in October, there were rumours it wouldn’t be back.

    From the start, it seems, the show has been trying to convince cynics it’s the real deal. Maybe now they’ll believe.

    “It’s interesting … a lot of people said to us, ‘Oh, we’re glad to see you made it,'” says Jana Ray, Cirque Niagara’s director of sales and marketing. “They didn’t have a whole lot of confidence in the show and what was happening here.

    “We’re glad to have proven them wrong. We’re still here, and we’re a viable commodity.”
