Star Circus Clown Bello Nock Ready to Sock New Victory


from: cityguide.com
It’s spring, which means it’s annual circus time in New York and the surrounding region. The extensive renovation of Madison Square Garden has guaranteed that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, after a 140+ year tradition with the various Garden sites, won’t ever play the site again unless it brings in a scaled-down show. So RBBB premieres their Built to Amaze edition at Brooklyn’s spanking new Barclays Center beginning March 20. Cirque du Soleil has pitched its tent at Queens’ Citi Field for the New York premiere of their long-touring show Totem. Our born and bred Big Apple Circus is in Bridgewater, NJ, through March 17; and come May 19 (into mid-June) will pitch its colorful tent in Fresh Meadows, Queens Cunningham Park. Come October, the Big Apple premieres its new show at Lincoln Center.

Circus favorite Bello, famous for daring antics and his signature skyscraper red hair (standing one foot high) -- and who’s often referred to as the Don King of Clowns -- has his own show, and you only have to travel to Times Square and 42nd Street's New Victory Theatre March 15 - 31 for the U.S. premiere of Bello Mania.
Named America’s Best Clown by Time, and awarded the circus world’s highest honor, the Gold Clown, at the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival, which was presented by Princess Stephanie, Bello Nock has been performing since age three, when he was the baby on the burning house in Disney on Parade's Dumbo's Circus. At 6, Bello toured as Michael Darling in Peter Pan, starring Cathy Rigby.
