ROLL up roll up - the circus is back in town.

Moscow State Circus returns to Southampton's Mayflower Park with is latest and greatest show, based on the Russian folklore story of Cvetik-Semicvetik.

Wizard Wacko and his crazy side kick Natalia Mezentceva invite the audience to an enchanted garden, a place where dreams come true and a place to see magnificent feats of human achievement.

The loveable buffoons guide us through this tantalising tale, granting wishes to the beautiful Kushka Veslovskaya who plays Zhenya, surrounded by a multitude of flying, back flipping, juggling, wire walking and roller-skating performers.

This year's show features the award-winning Troupe Leontiv flying parallel bars, Stynka on the horizontal bouncing Russian bar, roller-skating revelations from Veslovskiy, Trio Atlas on the flying globes, wirewalker Olga Rozhkovskaya and flying juggles and dynamic Diablos from Moscow.

The show, created especially for its first ever-European tour, all housed in a state of the art air-conditioned big top, is on from Wednesday to Monday May 2.
