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 .
