BIG TOP ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS
Join us for our own unique brand of shows that feature songs and stories performed by Big Top’ s Blue Canvas Orchestra and Singers that bear the hallmark of exquisite musicianship illustrated by big-screen visuals.
This year we debut a new musical show that traces the transformation of Celtic music brought to America from the North of Ireland as it becomes the roots of American Bluegrass in“ Belfast to Bluegrass.” Other historical musicals this year include Warren Nelson’ s“ Take Me To The Islands,” an illustrated history of the Apostle Islands,“ Shanties & Shipwrecks,” our celebration of sailing and sailors, and“ Riding the Wind,” the illustrated history of Bayfield. We also reprise last year’ s hugely successful“ Big Top Opry” which celebrates classic Country and Western songs by the likes of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. Then there are our variety nights:“ BCO in Concert,”” New First Night,”” BCO’ s Salute to Bruce Burnside” and“ Old Last Night.” This is when the band gets to cut loose and play their favorite songs from their 30 summers on the Big Top stage.
