Earlier this summer, my husband and I took our little boy to the circus, thanks to Mom Central. We had a wonderful time and my son still talks about the “animals.” I still want to know how that elephant disappeared! If you want to see pictures and read about our experience, check out my previous post.
My parents took me to the circus a few times when I was a child and they talk about how much I enjoyed it. All I really remember was that the animals were huge and magnificent. If I didn’t have a little boy, I would have still attended because the shows are that good. Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey have really changed their shows. The entertainment is so much more than a few animals doing tricks. We were awed by the talent we observed. The show we saw was called Zing Zang Zoom, however, Over the Top will also be playing in select cities. Here is a bit more information about each show from the site:
Through the mystery of magic and the mastery of skill, audiences will be spellbound as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents ZING ZANG ZOOM, a thrill-filled, mind-blowing circus spectacular where family fun is no illusion. Magical Zingmaster Alex and his assistant, the alluring Levitytia, lead audiences through a kaleidoscope of color and imagery revealing extraordinary worlds of fantasy, flight and phenomena that celebrates the uplifting spirit of the circus and wards off a cynical Mr. Gravity and his team of “heavies” who try to bring everyone down.
Over the Top is an all-new live entertainment extravaganza featuring the ultimate tug of war between Ringmaster Chuck Wagner and clown eccentric Tom Dougherty over a magical top hat that controls the circus. When the Ringmaster dons the hat he conjures stupendous spectacles for his circus, like the stunt riding Royal Cossack Cavalry while the clown uses the hat to summon silly and whimsical acts for his circus, such as a cavalry of goats riding on ponies in a Barnyard Bonanza. They continue to top one another until the Ringmaster and clown realize that the magic of the circus is not in the hat but in the hearts of everyone. The show culminates in an amazing display of gigantic glowing rainforest flowers surrounding Chinese acrobats swinging on vines and propelling through the air. Over the Top is two circuses in one providing excitement for the whole family.
