Flashing Back with 360 ALLSTARS

That’s right—360 ALLSTARS is back! A new dream team of sensational champs has debuted on the New Victory stage, ten years after their U.S. premiere on the very same stage. A show featuring breakdancing, extreme sports and more, 360 ALLSTARS is sure to spike your adrenaline!

New Victory Artistic Director Mary Rose Lloyd recalls being introduced to 360 ALLSTARS prior to their first appearance in the 2014-15 season: “I saw them at an international arts festival and invited them [to perform at the New Victory]. The cast is a lot of fun to hang out with, and their energy and enthusiasm is infectious.” When asked why she invited them back ten years later, it was simple: “The show is as fresh today as it was back then, and I want a new generation of audiences to discover them!”

Peterson, who is also a drummer in the show, is grateful for the opportunity to return to the New Victory stage, especially with a new team of artists and athletes. “It’s something we’ve been extremely proud of ever since the last season ten years ago. And particularly for myself, as an artist who was here ten years ago, to be sharing this experience with an entirely new team, seeing their excitement to do this for the first time, it’s a feather in all of their caps now too. It’s been quite a special experience,” he said.

If you missed out on seeing this exciting physical theater performance ten years ago, don’t worry! Peterson is confident that the show is as incredible as it was when they first visited the New Victory in 2014: “We’ve just tweaked, honed and evolved the show. We’ve performed more than 2,000 performances since we were here last, and we’ve made a couple of tiny changes after every show. We are very hopeful that the audience is experiencing a production that is at a whole other level.”

360 ALLSTARS continues to spotlight world record holders in freestyle basketball, BMX riding, breakdancing, acrobatics and more. The show is backed by a pulse-pumping, live-looped soundtrack built by Peterson and Mirrah, the show’s International Mistress of Ceremonies, during each performance. “The joy people see the team having on stage with each other is genuine and contagious. That’s why this show is so much fun to watch, because we’re genuinely having the best time up there, and people have the best time with us,” Peterson said.
