With Big Smiles On Faces Young And Old, A Realization That You Get What You Pay For

Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you pay for with those cut-rate outerborough circuses:

With big smiles on faces young and old, Queens families have been flocking to the Big Apple Circus, which is currently being held in Cunningham Park. A circus may be the type of entertainment that likes to bring the audience into the action, but at their opening show, Big Apple brought the action into the audience.

At the circus’ Saturday, May 13 show, one of the acrobats in the Garamov Troupe fell into the crowd while performing an aerial stunt.

Nikita Pavlov (like the dog guy), fell into the seats in Section 6 when he missed his trapeze partner’s hands.

However, Pavlov only suffered a few scratches and a bruised elbow. Though he was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures, he waved to the audience to show everyone that he was all right as he was taken out on a stretcher. No one in the audience was hurt either.
