Spooky Cabaret Shows

The Ringmaster's Cabaret is the Latest Addition to Six Flags' Fright Fest

— September 11, 2017 — Art & Design
Fright Fest is back for another year at Six Flags Great America, but this year's spooky Halloween event comes with the new addition of The Ringmaster's Cabaret. Making its debut alongside the new Underworld scare zone, the cabaret adds a new level of horror to the annual autumn event.

This year's Fright Fest at Six Flags runs from September 16th to October 31st at locations across the country. While there are family friendly activities offered throughout the day, guests are invited to come back after the sun goes down to explore the terrifying haunted houses and scare zones located throughout the park. This year, one of the spookiest attractions is The Ringmaster's Cabaret. The show is described as a production that mixes a freak show with illusions, and song and dance that will leave audiences shaking. As the park warns, "Be sure to be kind and generous, for these creatures expect uproarious applause."
Trend Themes
1. Halloween Entertainment - Incorporating spooky and unique entertainment experiences into Halloween events draws guests and creates a memorable event.
2. Immersive Attractions - Creating immersive attractions that combine multiple elements, such as music, dance, and illusions, can provide an unforgettable experience for guests.
3. Freak Show Nostalgia - There is a growing interest in the historical freak show and incorporating it as an element in modern entertainment can capitalize on this trend.
Industry Implications
1. Amusement Parks - Amusement park operators can enhance their Halloween events by introducing unique and immersive productions like The Ringmaster's Cabaret.
2. Event Production - Event production companies could incorporate the popularity of freak show elements into their productions to create a standout Halloween event or production for other occasions.
3. Live Entertainment - Live entertainment companies could capture the nostalgic aspect of the freak show and incorporate this into their offerings, perhaps even with a modern twist.
