The Charleston Gaillard Center today announced the return of the iconic Spiegeltent this holiday season. This "mirror tent," originally used as a traveling European dance hall in the early 20th century, offers a lavish and intimate setting, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports audiences to a bygone era.
Filling the Spiegeltent for 16 performances of world-class circus and cabaret is London’s renowned West End producer Underbelly and their unmissable sensation, Cabaret Royale.
After a nearly sold-out run in 2023, this fresh and exhilarating iteration promises an evening of unparalleled glamor, humor, and sparkle. Audiences can look forward to breathtaking aerial feats, tantalizing tricks, bedazzling burlesque, and charismatic comedy, all within the Spiegeltent's ornately decorated big top on the Gaillard Center lawn. Cabaret Royale will once again bring together some of the world’s finest talents in circus, cabaret, and comedy, making it the must-see event of the season.
