Around the World in 80 Days

Pack your bags at once for the whistle-stop journey of a lifetime!

Watch with amazement as the star performers of Barnet's world-renowned flea circus re-enact this action-packed tale of travel, adventure and comic capers around the globe.

Suspense, romance and intrigue are discovered in the most unlikely places in a daring race against time across land, sea and sky. With original songs and plenty of participation, don't miss the boat when this show starts its epic journey this winter!
