The 2024 production is the ultimate tribute to Dr Haze the undead ringmaster and the creator of the Circus of Horrors who leaves behind a legacy of bizarre and daring entertainment. If ever there was a modern day Greatest Showman then surely Dr Haze would be right up amongst the front runners. In fact, London’s Time Out once quoted ‘Barnum would be proud’ when describing Dr Haze and The Circus of Horrors.
Hop on board a rock n' roller coaster ride through a Cabaret of Curiosities featuring Sword Swallowers, Hairculean aerialists hanging from their hair whilst suspended above the auditorium, Whirlwind Jugglers, Twisted Contortionists, Voodoo Acrobats, Pickled People, Hula Hooping Sideshow Showgirls and lots more!

Sunderland Empire
Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
