The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus has reimagined its brand to entertain fans young and old. This new show has been reborn without animals but is still jam-packed with plenty of family fun. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s circus has set up shop in Rosemont and will thrill fans through Sunday.
Family Fun For All Ages
Furthermore, the family event will has soaring trapeze artists, bicyclists leaping on trampolines, and highwire acts. The “Greatest Show on Earth” will also include comedy, music, world dance, and other jaw-dropping thrills.
Hailing from Mexico and Chile, the Lopez family will drop jaws during their “Triangular Highwire” act. For this high adrenaline performance, three highwires will connect into an “all-new triangular formation 25-feet above the arena floor.” Four members of the Lopez family will have fans holding their breath as they watch them perform death-defying tricks.
Additionally, for the first time in Ringling Bros. history, they have added a exhilarating “display on Criss-Cross Trapeze.” The “legendary Flying Caceres Troupe will astound with two acts in one,” states the Ringling Bros. website.
Other Dynamic Fun
Furthermore, the circus will live musical performances featuring Argendance ” a fantastic, bombastic, enthusiastic mix of Boleadoras & Malambo,” states Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s X post. Stix and Aria will have the audience tapping their feet with their bombastic beats.
Black Diamond Trio, Duo Dust in the Wind, Gemini Twins, and YAB Brothers will perform hand-to hand acts stunning the audience. Furthermore, the Troupe Brothers and Tic Tac Trio will float high in the air in their ultimate playground performance on the Teeterboards. Moreover, BMX trail bike, unicycle riders, and skateboarders will shock and awe the audience as they do flips and tricks.
In addition, the Ringling Bros. circus is introducing Bailey Circuit. This robotic quadruped is predicted to be the audience’s “new (and adorable) best friend.” Event-goers will see Bailey “around the arena floor getting into mischief and having fun with Nick Nack.” Then, Ringling Bros.’ new playful character will join “the full cast in dynamic choreography.”
