In 1970 there were no Musicals or Plays produced or presented at the Music Circus, except for Ann Corio's "This Was Burlesque" revue.
What began as a revolution in summer musical theatre in 1949, ended as a Concert Venue. The times had changed, to say the least.
As in the previous few years, the mainstay of presentations was concerts. Thirty-six Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Orchestral single performance were presented.. That being said, they were mostly the headliners on the concert circuit that year; Ike and Tina Turner to BB King to Stan Kenton to Little Richard to Chicago, and The Four Seasons.
The last performance at the Lambertville Music Circus was singer Josh White, Jr. in concert on Sunday, September 6, 1970.
