Feel the “rush” of Cirque Mechanics’ high-flying acrobatic production of “Boom Town” Friday at the Orpheum Theater.

This family-friendly show centers on two saloons in a 1860’s frontier town competing for prosperity during a gold rush.

“Boom Town” boasts unique and impressive mechanical appratuses that serve as both the back-drop of their acrobatic adventure story and props for their cast of award-winning artists, acrobats, dancers, actors, jugglers and comics.

Huge sets inspired by early mining equipment will transport audiences into this high-energy, toe-tapping adventure of prospectors’ search for gold.

Critics have praised “Boom Town” as entertaining, heart-stopping and able to wow audiences from “start to finish.” The modern mechanical circus aims to please with their high-flying action. Audiences will watch as performers climb telegraph poles, dance on swinging chandeliers, flip over ore carts and balance big whiskey jugs.
