The Great Kaplan Makes His New York City Stage Debut with Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret, May 23 to 27

The Great Kaplan will appear in New York from May 23 to 27 as part of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret, running at the Cutting Room. The Great Kaplan (the alias of David Kaplan) performs a zany vaudeville-flavored routine that features many magical mishaps. Kaplan also performs hat tricks and juggling and usually demonstrates his musical expertise with a virtuoso performance using a squeaking balloon. A profile in Magic Magazine explained that after Kaplan takes the stage "within the next few moments his props will be destroyed, his ego will be deflated his nerves will be jangled, and his audience will be sent into fits of hysterical laughter." Although the Great Kaplan has appeared on national television, won multiple magic competitions, and opened for a wide range of high profile acts, the appearance with the Bindlestiff Cirkus marks his New York City stage debut.

Featuring a cast of circus and variety luminaries led by Bindlestiff co-founders Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson, this year’s Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret flirts with the delicate balance between stunning success and exquisite failure. The cast will take audiences on a journey fraught with peril, witnessing a walk atop champagne bottles and the swallowing of a three-foot butterfly knife. With effervescent aerial displays and captivating presentations of legerdemain, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret promises a delightful escape from the every day.

In addition to The Great Kaplan, The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret features cast members Keith Nelson (vaudevillian juggler and sideshow marvel), Stephanie Monseu (emcee and instigator), Evan Ruggiero (triple threat, singer, actor, and one-legged tap dancer) and Chloe Somers Wall (delightfully daring aerial acrobat). The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Band features Robert Cowie on keyboards and Eric Biondo on trumpet and beats. The show is directed by Michelle Matlock, originator of The Ladybug role in Cirque du Soleil’s “Ovo”.

The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret will appear at The Cutting Room, 44 East 32nd Street, May 23 to 27. The run features three weeknight performances which are for adults only, and two weekend matinees for the whole family.
