    Amazing tricks

    by Viviana on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    This circus was a great experience. Everyone is doing something amazing on different parts of the stage, and wherever you look there’s a great show that could stand by itself. Really impressive. Will certainly go again!

    2023 Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey

    by Ray on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents The Greatest Show On Earth was ok. A lot to focus at multiple points in the show. Was expecting a little more, but overall the performers did really well!

    Great circus, event without the animals!

    by Cheryl on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    We had front row seats and the entertainment was great. The kids and the adults all really enjoyed it. Only issue....they sold light up wands that had bubbles and the kids were blowing the bubbles right in our faces throughout the WHOLE time and their parents apparently didn't care. Bubbles at an indoor facility isn't the greatest! Also, we weren't at a concert - so why was there someone singing like it was a musical. Beside that, you could not quite hear what they were saying or singing - but I think that was a PPG problem. It was the "Greatest Show"with the exception of the animals. We did miss the animals.

    Just isn’t the same

    by SR105 on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    I went to the circus as a kid and remember the animals and clowns… the circus just isn’t the same anymore and I got bored and wanted to leave. All for the humane treatment of animals but the circus just isn’t the same without then

    Circus of the Future!

    by Christy on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    My children enjoyed all of the performances. It was eye catching and there were many times I held my breath. All of the performers were amazing and I was happy to see that my children got to experience the circus of the future. I am sad that the animals are no longer apart of it. My youngest only wishes that it was in a big top tent.

    Terrible

    by Mills on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    The worst show I’ve been to in a long time. A waste of money. My 7 yr old twins asked to leave 20 minutes into the show. They said it was boring and I must agree with them.

    Worst show on earth!

    by Bo on 10/23/23PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    What a big waste of time and money. Was not impressed what so ever with the amateur stunts, and can you really call it a circus with no aminals or clowns. Highly not recommend!!

    Awesome Show

    by JW on 10/21/23Brookshire Grocery Arena - Bossier City

    Show was awesome. Had some amazing acts including the trapeze and human cannonball. Would recommend this act to people who are skeptical of what a circus is.

    Ah-May-Zing!!!

    by M. R. on 10/21/23

    Simply an amazing show. High production value and all the glitz of a cirque show at half the price. I would 100% go back in a heartbeat. It's not the same circusnas 20 years ago... and that's a great thing. World-class acts in this show! Run to see it!

    Family fun at the circus.

    by Robin on 10/20/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    I purchased 5 front row seats . Upon looking for my seats an usher explained to me that my seats had been changed. It was for a good reason They had all the sound equipment in that area. My only concern was that my nieces 3 children have a small attention span. Therefore by purchasing front row tickets l thought that that would bypass any distractions. Well my new seats were ok untill the people in front of us showed up. After that l had to try and motivated the kids to watch the show. At one point l had to tell them that we could go home before it ended. Which made me feel awful since l spent $500.00 on these tickets. I just hope they don't remember that as part of their experience. Because that was not what l want them to take away from this event. Then we realized that one of the girls cotton candy was possibly taken by mistake while the kids had pizza for dinner at this event. I did reach out to the staff and was given a new bag of cotton candy. This was greatly appreciated by my little niece. She preceded to hang onto this throughout the rest of the show. The circus is not like it was from years past. Personally l think that the clown act could really use a real clown costume. The show was fast paced and did excite the kids. The performers were all excellent. They really did a superb job. I am happy that my niece and l were able to bring the kids to this show. It was a good experience for them. Don't forget that along with the show they had pizza, snow cones in specialty cups, popcorn and cotton candy. We did buy each child a light up toy which was a hugh success. Our little boy even wanted a mask and since he doesn't go to these functions often l splurged and included that as a gift as well. They really liked the wands and played during intermission. So at the end of the night this truly was an event to remember. I believe that my pocket was approximately $800.00 lighter but that's just what it costs to go to these events. As for going to future events l will definitely try and have a event coordinator help me with the purchase of my tickets. Good time and happy to have had the children attend this great show.

    Miss the Animals

    by Shelley on 10/19/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    There was a lot going on at one time and it was entertaining but I miss the animals and the clowns.

    Enjoyed our first animal-free circus

    by Ringmaster on 10/18/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    Although we understand the reason that Ringling Brothers had to discontinue featuring animals in the circus, we had to admit that it was an adjustment not seeing, for e.g., the majestic parade of the elephants at the start of the show. The only "animal"in the show was a robotic dog, and frankly it didn't add much to the show. It's a fast paced show that kept our 5-year-old grandson's interest nearly the whole time. We thought the high wire act was the most disappointing -- it was off to the side and not easy to see. The highlight for us was the trapeze acts; we wished they had been longer. There were four platforms, and sometimes the artists were actually switching to a swing that was going in the intersecting direction. Very impressive work. It was rather odd not having a ringmaster anymore. Oftentimes there were acts going on in three widely separated areas, and it was hard to know where to look. It was worth the money and we would go again.

    Mesmerizing

    by SG on 10/18/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    A great show! Saying the very least. My son, 6 years old, was so focused on them especially the during the bike tricks. It really is entertaining for all ages.

    This is no longer the greatest show on earth.

    by Adult on 10/18/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    It was not really a Circus. Colorful colors and puny pyrotechnics, do not make a circus. It was stuff we all have seen all our lives. Unless you are under the age of 7, you had a hard time being interested. I found the cost to value very slim

    AMAZING BEGINNING TO END!!!

    by NikoMax on 10/18/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey truly delivers a spectacular show! If you’re looking for non-stop entertainment from beginning to end, then this is the show you’re looking for! Every act was amazing and wowing! The talent was incredible, and they kept you laughing throughout the show! My husband and I would definitely go back again in a heartbeat!

    A nice show

    by Robson Silva on 10/18/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    It was a great show and really worth watching. The artists perform incredible stunts and there really is a lot of interaction with the audience throughout the show.
