Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus: Out of This World
I can’t believe that this it! That after 146 years the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will have its final performance this year. I have fond memories of my brother taking me to see the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus when I was maybe 9 or 10. Every time my husband and I were going to take our children something happened. Someone was sick, etc. I’m glad that we were able to take them to see the show before its final performance.
Needless to say they enjoyed it and agreed that it certainly is “The Greatest Show on Earth”. We attended the opening day performance in New Jersey at the Prudential Center. The show is running through the weekend and if you can catch it you won’t regret it! There are so many surprises.
Make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to get through security, grab some snacks and find your seats! Don’t forget to pick up a souvenir program! You’ll want to remember this one! The theme of this circus is Out of This World. I don’t want to give the story away, but you will be taken on a journey through the stars!
The performers truly cover the entire arena. I don’t think you could miss a trick because things are happening left, right and center.
I was surprised that a lot of performers are on ice skates! It’s amazing how quickly they can change the scenes while the performers are still on the ice. It was unexpected.

I haven’t been to see a circus show in years. I didn’t know they’ve been around for so long. That’s interesting. I would love to go and see it again. At least once.

We went to this show in a Chicago and it was so much fun. All of the kids from 2-10 had the best time!
Nicole says
Is this show more like Cirque de Soleil now? I was so happy that they stopped using elephants.

We went to the circus a few years ago. I’m sad to see the circus go, but happy for the animals!
