Show Details
From Melbourne, Australia, Circus Oz returns with Merry Mayhem, produced by Parrot Ox – a raucous, music-filled circus experience that’s as rowdy as it is ridiculous. Running from December 5 to 28, 2025 at The New Victory Theater (209 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036), this 75-minute show with no intermission is perfect for audiences ages 5 and up.
Expect live music, loud laughter, and plenty of roughhousing as this multigenerational troupe brings their signature Aussie flair to the stage. Tickets start at $30, with members saving 30% (price includes service fees).
About the Show
Pow! Crash! Oi! The uproar from Down Under, Circus Oz is here to unleash some Merry Mayhem. Exploding onto the stage in a rascally rainbow of high-flying frivolity, this multi-generational, muscle-bound ensemble tumbles, tussles and trapezes to the beat of a live rock band! Can an archer hit her target on rollerskates? Can a daredevil granny survive the Dive of Death? Can an aerialist reach the ceiling in his satin gown? Embrace the holiday frenzy and buckle up for a uniquely Aussie celebration of subversive circus fun.
A little naughty, a little nice, a little death-defying

Things to Know
- This will be Circus Oz’s sixth time bringing their Australian flair to the New Victory stage! They were last here for the 2012 holidays with Circus Oz: From The Ground Up Tour.
- The ensemble of Merry Mayhem is multigenerational—the seven performers you’ll see on stage were born across six decades!
- From playful punches to pranks and pratfalls, the knock-about antics of Circus Oz can be summed up in one awesome Aussie word—larrakin: a boisterous, badly behaved boy who balks at convention.
