The Circus Left Town, The Clowns Stayed | 10 Dark Cabaret Stories After the Big Top

The tents are down. The animals are gone. The midway lights are dead. But somebody forgot the clowns. Ten original story songs follow the people left behind when the circus moves on: a ringmaster talking to empty seats; Charlie, who can measure every laugh except his own; Little June and the tiny home she built inside Big Eddie's coat; two old partners who cannot stop performing for each other; a half-man walking away whole; Black Veil Betty and her funeral parade; Whiteface and Joey Red after the punchline; a human cannonball who can fly but cannot stand still; two men trapped in the poster that made them famous; and the company that finally decides being forgotten is not the same as disappearing. Dark American vaudeville, ragtime cabaret, electro-swing, hot jazz, mechanical tango, New Orleans funeral brass and intimate chamber cabaret. Ten songs, one abandoned big top, no children's circus.
