SHADOW CIRCUS
ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT (2026)
SHADOW CIRCUS
Theatrical Heavy Rock • Horror • Dark Fantasy
“The Evil Trans Siberian Orchestra!”
A theatrical heavy rock production combining live music, costumes, makeup and stage design, featuring the music of Danny Elfman and The Nightmare Before Christmas, shock rock favorites including Alice Cooper, Ghost and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Shadow Circus’ own macabre original music.
With more than two decades of theatrical and progressive rock experience, Shadow Circus brings an established history of ambitious, concept-driven music to the stage. Since forming in the early 2000s, the band has released multiple concept albums, appeared at progressive rock festivals, performed at venues including B.B. King Blues Club in New York City, and toured with Italian progressive rock band The Watch. The current production builds on that history as an immersive celebration of the darker, more theatrical side of rock.
