$19 for Outing for Family of Six to Piccadilly Circus (Up to $40.95 Value). Six Shows Available.
Without a circus in town, audiences would have to quench their thirst for aerial thrills by watching window cleaners eating sandwiches on their lunch breaks. Take in flashier stunts with today’s GrouponLive deal to see the Piccadilly Circus at The San Antonio Rose Palace . For $19, you get a family outing for general-admission seating (up to a $40.95 value). The outing includes the following: Two adult tickets (up to a $40.95 value, including all ticketing fees) Four tickets for children younger than 13 (free with the purchase of an adult ticket, though typically limited to three passes per ticket) Choose from the following performances: Saturday, February 11, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, February 11, at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, February 12, at 1 p.m. Sunday, February 12, at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, February 12, at 6 p.m. Celebrating its 25th year, Piccadilly Circus delights family audiences around the country with its touring spectacle of suspenseful thrills and slapstick laughs. The 90-minute extravaganza rolls out such death-defying acts as motorcyclists somersaulting through the air on their bikes, contortionists impossibly bending their limbs, and middle-aged men cutting back on their sodium intake. A menagerie of exotic animals also moseys across the arena floor, with an elephant balancing its leathery bulk on one stout foot and a rare white tiger prowling before the crowd. As cirque artists, soaring aerialists, and zany clowns unpack their bags of tricks, spectators may feel pangs of regret about youthful decisions to run away from the circus and enroll in actuarial school. Though Piccadilly Circus offers a buy-one, get-one promotion and a coupon for free children’s admission, this Groupon still represents the best deal.

$15 for Two Tickets to “Moon Over Buffalo” at The Callioux Theater in Kerrville on February 3, 4, 10, or 17 ($30 Value)
The first films to incorporate sound were known as “talkies,” just as the word “walkies” was applied to the first plays not starring cardboard actors. Celebrate theatrical innovation with today’s GrouponLive deal: for $15, you get two tickets to see Moon Over Buffalo , presented by Playhouse 2000 , at The Cailloux Theater (a $30 value). Seating is in the mezzanine or left and right orchestra sections. Choose from the following performances: Friday, February 3 Saturday, February 4 Friday, February 10 Friday, February 17 All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Playhouse 2000 engrosses the Hill Country in the performing arts with yearlong Broadway classics and homespun comedies that stir denizens’ love of the stage. The troupe paints the lavish Cailloux Theater in broad strokes of laughter with its production of Moon Over Buffalo , a zany and lighthearted farce from Ken Ludwig , the Tony-winning author of hit plays such as Lend Me a Tenor and Crazy for You . Moon Over Buffalo wrenches laughs like clown-car mechanics with a tale of married thespians and former Broadway stars, George and Charlotte Hay, who teeter on obsolescence and estrangement. When they learn that movie director Frank Capra will be watching their small-town matinee, the play erupts in old-fashioned knockabout high jinks as the couple clamors to make it to the silver screen. Packed full of comic disasters, running gags, and vaudevillian splendor, Moon Over Buffalo garners contagious guffaws in ways that only live theater or filibuster outtakes on C-SPAN can achieve.
