The Green Fairy Cabaret @ The Kimmel Center

 I have a slight obsession with all things Parisian inspired and this show just reminded me of a Moulin Rouge-esque production so of course I had to get my tickets right away.  Read all about it right here and become absorbed in 1900's Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look up! Philadelphia School of Circus Arts transforms the region’s skyline into a dazzling flight back to 1900s Paris.  Fly with the “Green Fairy” as she presents aerial and acrobatic feats, plus comedy, juggling and spectacular physical skills.


In the early 1900s, Paris sparkled with five permanent circuses. Night after night, artists watched the shows and mingled after hours with the jugglers, saltimbanques, clowns, harlequins and acrobats who virtually embodied artistic risk.  Painters, sculptors and circus artists challenged the status quo by redefining the limits of human possibility. The popular – and controversial – drink absinthe (nicknamed the Green Fairy) was rumored to push these limits even further.   The region’s top circus artists will take you on a trip to this creative and socially volatile period with a dazzling and comical performance with fabric (tissu), aerial ladder, trapeze and acrobatics, all performed overhead at Philadelphia’s most breathtaking rooftop spaces, the Kimmel Center’s Hamilton Garden.

The daytime show is family-friendly for children of all ages.  The nightly show has its own special rewards, including a special “Green Fairy Absinthe Bar.”
