Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®- FULLY CHARGED

Our review for you!

October 30, 2012

PHENOMENAL!

Tonight we went to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®- FULLY CHARGED Circus and we came home with the power still on for sure!



This circus is top notch which is nothing less than we have come to expect from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.  It is non-stop action.  There is never down time....always something going on.

They had beautiful horses and elephants and tigers trained to perfection.  Just awesome to watch.

We were entertained with outstanding high flying acts with silks and ropes and tight ropes.  People doing things you can't even imagine while swinging above your heads.









WHEN you go you have to go to the pre-show.  You can meet and greet with the entertainers and get their autographs and pictures taken too...right in the rings! 




Or have a REAL LIVE CLOWN put a REAL LIVE clown nose on you!





Or try on some costumes!








Or if you display extraordinary talent like MY KID then you might just get invited to go up and help demonstrate a dance move or two with a pretty lady!  Clearly they only take the best!






And then there are the clowns...ahh...send in the clowns!



I think I would like to change only one thing about the entire show:  The human hamster wheel!  That is not the technical term of course, but seriously, we all know that's what it is.  I just can't take it another time.  The way the guys balance and go around and around and then get out the jump ropes...I just can't look again.  My heart jumps just thinking about it!

This show has it all even down to shooting a man in flames across the stage.  I REALLY should have had that little talk with my son about NOT doing anything he saw tonight at home.  Perhaps in the morning.  Because it takes a lot of effort to be on the edge of your seat for a couple of hours.

Go to see the show!  It's here until Sunday.  Give yourself the opportunity to be a kid again and look at the world where the impossible seems possible for a night.  Then glance over at the kid you brought...chances are that's THE memory you won't soon forget!
