THE VAMPIRE CIRCUS

They’re baaack. The Vampire Circus returns if you caught them last time, you already know this is one of the most wildly entertaining nights of the year.
Often described as “Tim Burton meets Cirque du Soleil,” The Vampire Circus is a gloriously dark fusion of circus, cabaret, and theatre. The story? Count Dracula, plotting world domination from 19th-century Bohemia, decides the perfect cover for his scheme is … a traveling circus. (Honestly, we respect the strategy.) What follows is a 90-minute thrill ride of world-class Cirque-style acrobatics, contortionists, jugglers, illusionists, and the crowd-favorite Mad Graveyard Clown — all performed by international artists who push the boundaries of what the human body can do.
And here’s the best part: you’re in the show. The Vampire Circus famously breaks the fourth wall, pulling the audience into the action with comical interactions and immersive moments that surround you — and occasionally come looking for you. It’s an emotional roller coaster of fear and joy, laughter and wonder, and it all unfolds on the Midland’s historic stage.
Founded by Cirque du Soleil veteran Francisco Santos and inspired by the magic of legendary traveling carnivals, The Vampire Circus is spooky enough to thrill and funny enough to charm; a perfect night out for date nights, friend groups, Halloween enthusiasts, and families with older kids and teens.
