UniverSoul Circus Plays Chicago Sept. 28-Oct. 30, 2016

With 63 Grand Shows in Chicago, UniverSoul Circus is a Tour de Force of Circus Artistry on a Global Scale

We’re Bridging Cultures from Around the World –

1 Smile, 1 Thrill and 1 Song at a time

Sponsored in Chicago by McDonald’s

A big top spectacle of global proportions, the 2016 production of UniverSoul Circus takes fans of all ages on an unforgettable journey of light, sound and soul. Get ready for electrifying, edge-of-your-seat performances. Hailed as the most interactive circus in the world, UniverSoul Circus plays Chicago in Washington Park, Sept. 28-Oct. 30, 2016. Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.com or 1-800-745-3000.

As has become its trademark after 23 years, UniverSoul Circus will present a multicultural/multinational cast of rock-star performers in 2016. Only under the UniverSoul Circus one ring big top will you be lucky enough to witness the Comedy Dog Act from Chile, Aerial Duet from Colombia, Pagoda Bowl Acrobats from China, Airborne Motorcycles from California, Caribbean Dynasty from Trinidad and Tobago, Russian Bar from Cuba, Contortionists from Ethiopia, Magical Tigers and disco dancing Elephants from the United States.

“Just like the circular ring in which it sits, UniverSoul celebrates cultures from around the world and brings them together under the big top,” said Founder and CEO Cedric Walker. “At this time in our history we need to come together, to embrace and learn from each other. I believe the circus naturally brings people together. In 23 years of searching for talent, I have journeyed to every continent to find a multicultural, multinational mix of talent to showcase.”

lucky1Leading the charge this year as Ringmaster for UniverSoul Circus is the multi-talented Lucky Malatsi of Johannesburg, South Africa. Lucky, 27, has been performing in front of an audience for 23 years. In 1999, while performing in South Africa, Lucky caught the attention of Cedric Walker. By 2000, at the age of 10, he was performing a popular duo contortionist act for UniverSoul. Married with two young kids growing up in the back lot, Lucky brings new meaning to the term, multi-talented. He has been an acrobatic hip hop dancer, acrobat, contortionist, trapeze artist, teeterboard flyer, trampoline artist and an acrobatic-dunking whiz kid with basketballs.

Good times last night at nonprofit @Commonthreadso Good times last night at nonprofit @Commonthreadsorg “Beyond the Table Event.” It was truly an evening of eating and giving. I was introduced to this organization a long time ago and this year they celebrate their 20th year anniversary. (Thanks for the invite @thechefthebaker đŸ™ŒđŸŸ). 

Common Threads is a National Organization that champions improved community health through the power of nutrition and food.

At the fundraiser there were so many yummy bites!!! AND so fun to meet @Bravotopchef finalist @Baileylynnsullivan executive chef @monteverdechi. All of the bites were AMAZING! Such a great non-profit to support!

I’m ready to host my next dinner party! đŸœïž I’m ready to host my next dinner party! đŸœïž I was invited to an exclusive culinary experience @Blueplatechicago that inspired my home entertaining skills. đŸ‘©đŸœâ€đŸł 

The evening featured exceptional flavors of Prosciutto di Parma and Grana Padano. Experts led a live demonstration and showed us the art behind these exquisite delicacies.

We indulged in a curated dining experience crafted by Executive Chef Charles Haracz. I would say my favorite highlights were the flatbread, salmon wrapped in prosciutto, and the prosciutto bits in the icecream. I LOVE unique dining experiences! I’ll have to put my hosting skills to the test soon. You in? đŸ«Ł

 just completely blown away by Chef @Sebastians.Kitchen meal prep service. The food was AMAZING but those sauces
 😋😋😋😋 The ingredients were fresh and you could tell everything was homemade. I was asked what I wanted to eat but I’m so glad I told him to plan it all. All you gotta do is heat it up and eat. Loved it!!!!
