    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!!!

    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

    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.

    It’s not what it used to be

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

    There is no more ring leader/master … there’s just this horrible actress that sings a ton with overdone facial expressions reminiscent of Chicago’s Eagle a man commercials. The clowns… they’re gone. Now it’s a guy in a man bun and a couple of guys in glitter. But they don’t interact much or clown much. It felt like the wish version of cirque du soleil. But with twerking. Lots of twerking with a “main” center stage act. A Diamond group … they twerked. The trapeze were neat to see. The tight rope act was reduced to a small square and again - not great. If you like horrible acting, twerking, and bad ballet - this is for you. It’s not what it was and we definitely overpaid. I wouldn’t go back.

    Great for all ages

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

    Was wondering how it would be since they no longer have animals. There were so many cool cultural performances and stunts. Loved it!

    Greatest Show On Earth- LITERALLY!

    by seymore on 10/17/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    I was hesitant at first on how this would be a good show without live animals, clowns and the traditional acts that usually came with Ringley Brothers circus...BOY was I wrong! The lighting, music, pyrotech, smoke, stage layout and sound was awesome! Having some modern acts like incorporating the BMW bikes and special dancers and the walking wheel were phenomenal! Loved how they involved the crowd and kept things moving. Definitely the Greatest Show On Earth, really enjoyed it!

    THE Greatest Show

    by JenniferW1970 on 10/17/23Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee

    WOW! What an amazing show. The action never stops. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something else is happening on the other side of the stage. The souvenirs are a “wee” bit pricey, but the show itself is worth every penny. Every adult and child had a smile, and was full of joy for just a little while.
