Public opinion and the fact the animatronics were not ready meant that the circus continued.Today, the circus is produced and directed by Hungarian Laci Endresz. A live band (sometimes accompanied by Mooky the Clown) provides all the music for the show, often dynamically syncing with the performers' movements. The circus band play a variety of different songs, usually Latin for the acts. In the winter the circus stages a pantomime instead of the regular show.The old aquarium is now rehoused in the Sea Life Centre just along the Promenade.
