The Boys from Baraboo

This theatrical production tells the fascinating true story of how five brothers from Baraboo, Wisconsin built one of America's most legendary entertainment empires—the Ringling Brothers Circus. The show blends comedy, music, and storytelling to chronicle both their humble beginnings and the eventual decline of their "greatest show on Earth." Performed by Heidi Armbruster, the production captures the determination, creativity, and charm that fueled their rise, delivered with the energy of a classic vaudeville revue mixed with deeper dramatic storytelling. This show works well for families who enjoy theatrical performances, American history, and entertainment that combines humor with meaningful storytelling. Open captioning will be provided, making it accessible for those who need it.
