Viktoria is the daughter of well known juggler, Fudi, who was a featured performer of the Greatest Show on Earth. Vicky is married to Alex Petroff of perch pole fame.

Here's a video of Vicky, Fudi and Suzanne from the Circus Conelli, a dinner theatre type circus.

Mike,
Wasn't Vicky also part of the "Upside down" couple act on Ringling a few seasons ago?

I stand to be corrected, but it's certainly my understanding the Fudi's daughter performed an upside-down act, so I'd say that the answer is "yes" - although there may be another daughter.

Vicki and Alex were the "upside down" couple in the Gold Unit's second season, a two-year run.

Vicki, like her dad, is an accomplished juggler. She filled in with her juggling act when needed on that Gold Unit edition and juggled in the pre-show as well. From the props in her hand in the posted photo, assume she works the "Over The Top" pre-show too.

Will be visiting that show late next week in Mobile, Alabama, so will find out for myself.

Watching her husband Alex years ago on the Beatty - Cole show walk the tightwire with Lucy on the perch pole on his forehead was truly an amazing act. Could never figure out why Feld didn't use that act? Feld ought to get smart and have him teach it to someone as it was truly unique!

Quality People!

Vicky is currently in pre-show and last I saw the show...April-ish, she was one of the featured production girls along side Mr. Chuck Wagner.

Alex and Vicky did do the upside down act on the Gold show, but I am too young to the circus game to have seen that...I was too busy during college studying to do anything else.

Alex is currently the Blue show's animal superintendent and also has taken over the motorcycle wire act from Super Silvio.

Cheers,
Crystal (over enthusiastic circus fan, but aren't we all)

The Petrovs, previous generation, were on Ringling during the early Feld era.
