STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Circus Vazquez will make its Staten Island debut next week, setting up its blue and white tent at the Staten Island Mall in New Springville for an 11-day run from March 27 through April 6.

The show features an international all-human cast and is billed as the largest family-owned big top circus in the United States. The company has been operating for more than 50 years.

Performances will run nightly at 7 p.m., with additional shows at 1 and 4 p.m. on weekends…
