Arias With a Twist

Omnium Circus is a bold, inclusive spectacle where accessibility meets world-class artistry. Performing at the season opening event of the Brooks Center’s Boni Belle Brooks Series this fall, this performance features unforgettable music and a powerful story designed for audiences of all ages and abilities.

This revival finds new power in the intimate story of a family learning to love again, set against one of the most consequential moments of the twentieth century, as the Nazi regime rises to power and authoritarianism encroaches on daily life. The production stars Tony nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers as "Maria."

Performer Zina Ellis weaves together history, sociology, personal stories, song, and her signature sense of humor to explore the past, present, and future of Black women in musical theatre.
