A Studio Full of Stars | Tribute to the Stars Showcase

The lights dimmed, the crowd went quiet, and then the studio erupted with sound and sparkle. Tribute to the Stars was Roundabout Circus at its best- playful, brave, and beautifully chaotic.

Over four shows, more than 500 people cheered through forty acts inspired by musical legends who shaped our world. Preschoolers dressed as fish with jellyfish plates floating through the air. Tweens became Freddie Mercury and teens and adults embodied Bowie for a day. There was 1920s cabaret dancers, Grease Lightning energy, rival sugar plum fairies and an unforgettable Thriller finale that had the entire room clapping along.

But the biggest cheer came when Rachel finally got to splat Andy with a cream pie for the first time on stage. The look of shock, delight and mild revenge summed up everything about the weekend: bold, messy and full of love.

“It was beautiful to watch everyone step onto the stage and shine. You could feel the joy in every performance. From the tiny tots bubbling through their first routines to the seasoned performers showing what’s possible when you keep showing up. It was pure Roundabout energy.” — Rachel Peters
