The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!

Yakov’s Moscow Circus opens June 10 in Branson, Missouri



(Branson, MO – Monday, June 1, 2009) – Yakov Smirnoff, famous Russian Comedian, announced that a special Moscow Circus is a new addition to his exciting theater line-up in Branson, Missouri. Yakov’s Moscow Circus will open on June 10 and run through September 7. “You can runaway to Branson to join my circus! The highly respected Moscow Circus is an entertaining collection of clowns, strongmen, high wire walkers, con artists, and animals. Over here in America we call that Congress.”


Yakov’s Moscow Circus features Andre the Clown, Irina Markova and her award-winning canine troupe with their feline friends, Igor & Denis “The Strongmen of Moscow”, Flying Adagio Star Marina, National Unicycling Champion Anthony Soumiatin, Boris the Wonder Dog and more. For the first twenty dates Yakov will appear in person, subsequent show dates he’ll be a part of the show via multimedia.



Yakov says, “The show is really a story and the story is set in a circus and begins in Russia. It features elements of honor, loyalty, character, nobility, patriotism, humor, romance…and some very exciting and unique segments. Parts of the story mirror the challenges, and the culture, of my country of origin Russia, and parts of the story showcase my love, and the values, of my country of choice the United States of America. You won’t want to miss the adventure as Andre the Clown searches for his lovely Marina the Ballerina!”


One unique aspect of Yakov’s Moscow Circus is the opportunity that Yakov created for many schools and charities to raise funds for their different projects. Schools participating distribute flyers to their students offering one free child’s ticket to Yakov’s Moscow Circus with the purchase of an adult ticket. Adults receive a special price of $20 to see Yakov’s Moscow Circus and for every adult ticket sold with the flyer, Yakov sends the school $5. “I thought this would be a great way to encourage families to see Yakov’s Moscow Circus, have some fun and also help their schools out. And if you think about it, it’s also a great cultural exchange.” Schools or charitable organizations wishing to participate in this program can contact the theater.
