Tommy Bartlett Water-skiers fly high again! Our signature mix of fast-paced trick skiing, barefooting, jumps, flips and high-powered boat maneuvers take center stage for a great summertime extravaganza on Lake Delton. It’s waterskiing at its finest; featuring top-notch skill and breathtaking stunts, along with a dash of campy Midwest humor, fit for audiences of all ages. It’s a big splashing fun time on Lake Delton where waterskiing is still king!

All eyes turn to the sky when one of Tommy Bartlett's ultimate daredevils takes flight each night. Our man-carrying kite is catapulted by boat from the Tommy Bartlett stage up into the sky, soaring to a height of 700 feet above the water. Audiences eagerly watch as our daredevil disconnects from the towline and elegantly maneuvers the glider through the night sky, and down to the very spot from which he launched. It’s a true spectacle of skill, precision and courage. (8:30 p.m. shows only – weather permitting)

With great hand-eye-coordination and a good dose of lighthearted humor, world-class juggler T.J. Howell brings laughter and excitement to the Bartlett stage. T.J. tosses a bit of everything into the juggling mix. You name it – T.J. can probably juggle it! Tossing around everything from bowling balls to machetes and throwing in some fire to ignite the excitement, T.J. is certainly in a league all his own. T.J.’s very own little charmers also get into the act. Twelve-year-old Hunter and eight-year-old Carson show off their unicycle riding skills and win over audiences with their show-stealing charm.

True to form, the Nerveless Nocks defy danger as they climb freestyle, hand-over-hand to the top of their towering swaypoles 75-feet above the Bartlett stage. You can’t be afraid of heights if you’re part of this world-famous thrill show family. The Nerveless Nocks include Michaelangelo and Carolina Nock along with their daughter Angelina, a ninth generation circus performer. The sky-high poles sway slowly back and forth as the trio performs balancing maneuvers and tricks including a daring aerial exchange from pole to pole. Hold on to your seat for the grand finale, a headfirst free-fall back to the ground.

With skill and precision, the Anastasini Brothers take to the stage and literally kick the action into high gear. New to the Tommy Bartlett Show this year, the family duo dazzles audiences with their fast-paced “Icarian” foot-juggling and balancing stunts. Older brother Giuliano – age 21 – is the anchor of the amazing acrobatic routine, using his feet and legs to launch his younger brother high into the air. Twelve-year-old Fabio is catapulted up, courageously performing flips and twists before landing back on his brother’s feet with ease. The Anastasini Brothers are 9th generation circus performers bringing a new age of energy, talent and high-flying action to the Bartlett lineup.

Sit back and relax as the celebrated Tommy Bartlett Water-skiers whisk you away to a world filled with fun, excitement and nostalgia on beautiful Lake Delton. It’s what summers are made of in Wisconsin: action, adventure, music and memories. We take you full-throttle-ahead to “Camp Bartlett” where our skiers rule the water as they show off their daring flips, jumps and barefooting tricks. Comedy abounds when the affable ski club is challenged by a rowdy bunch of new-age water-skiers from across the lake. The action heats up when the new hot-shot wannabes try to out-ski and out-shine the adorable Camp Bartlett misfits.

We’ll deliver the thrills while you immerse yourself in this charming underdog tale. Hold on to your seats and laugh out loud as we find out who is king of the lake!

The lights come out each night as we cap off our 8:30 p.m. performance with a dazzling laser-light and entrancing water fountain show. Using our state-of-the-art, full-color laser-light system, we pay tribute to our great nation with a spectacular mix of music, color and graphics. Our finale also blends fanciful fountains and a splash of fireworks artfully choreographed with stirring music as we celebrate America.
