The tables below contain all known circus acts appearing in the first two seasons of the original Mickey Mouse Club, by order of appearence. Circus Day shows, especially those involving animal acts, were the most expensive and difficult to produce. They were dropped after the first two seasons, though one first season performance was rerun for a Talent Roundup Day in the third season. There were only sixteen different acts the first season. To fill up the schedule, the film editors often split performances into two or three shows.
Where available, images have been provided from the act's actual performance on the show. Failing that, general publicity photos or images from other appearences have been used. Many photos and much information here came courtesy of the late Bill Strong. For the vast majority of the acts there is simply no picture available. Only original broadcast appearences are listed; reruns are excluded.
Most of the information below was extracted from original research done by Bill Cotter, however, any errors of fact or mistakes in interpretation are my own.
