    It was ok

    by Jay on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Overall the kids had fun but I personally felt it was more of a cirque show than a circus. A lot of acrobatics, and although it was cool it became a little repetitive.

    Not a circus

    by MP on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    I would give this 0 stars if I could , over the summer I went to a circus in a mall parking lot . It brought back memories of ringing bros and my Childhood so I thought I would look it up and see if it’s coming around and when I saw it was I was so happy to get tickets I got great seats on the second row . Well the show starts and I was wondering where I was where’s the clowns where the traditional circus acts very few . This has really changed and not for the good sometimes you need to leave great alone. I understand no exotic animals , but you can have horses and dogs that’s not illegal ,but aside from that you don’t need any animals just an old fashioned circus not people jumping rope and playing drums and a lady running around singing thinking this is broadway I found it boring , where is the ringleader with the red tails and top hat I have to say I would never go to this again was definitely just something strange . Waste of money !!

    Fun for all ages

    by Fossil60 on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    We all were wowed by the show. Fun for the 5 year old up to the 63 year old. A lot of stunts and a robotic dog. Several days later and the kids are still talking about it.

    NOT A CIRCUS ANYMORE

    by Chloe on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    So, I think I was mostly looking for nostalgia and was highly disappointed. I understand the animals being taken away but not a single clown or funny skit it was basically an acrobatic show. Not worth the massive amounts of money I spent. Everything is so over priced, the food was not good at all and there was no pre show. I do not consider this a circus and I won’t waste my time or money again coming to this.

    No longer the greatest show on earth!

    by Disappointed Attendee on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Where do i begin? Let’s see. Once called “The Greatest Show on Earth” has become “Just a Show”. When purchasing these tickets i was aware there would be no animals (which I understand the elephants but they could still use some animals for the shows). What I didn’t expect there NOT to be were CLOWNS! How do you get rid of clowns, because some kids are scared of them? No more pies in the face either. No little people. No great comedy from the clowns. Instead you have some “entertainers” in sparkly suits trying to be funny but not quite getting it. The circus has become more of a Cirque du Soleil than anything else. It’s just acrobats. No more motorcycles in the sphere. No more clowns. No more animals. No more circus type people. No more circus type characters at all. They don’t even sell popcorn or peanuts for goodness sake! 2 mainstays in the circus world are now gone as well. Wasn’t worth the price and it was honestly disappointing to return to a circus years later to come back to this “circus”. Save your money.

    Disappointed

    by Melissa on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    I never write reviews but felt I needed to with this. We were extremely disappointed there were no animals except a robotic dog and they were no clowns. Maybe I should have done my homework before to know that but I feel like that’s what a circus is about. My 5yr old was bored by the acrobatic acts, the singing and drum playing. It definitely did not keep her attention. I told all friends and family about this and they were all shocked about the change in the circus. We will not go to another circus and lots of friends and family will not be attending. Nothing was wrong with the prudential center that hosted the even. Staff was kind and helpful. Very disappointed!

    Not a good show

    by Steph on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Very disappointed with the show…..was expecting much more. Biggest disappointment was there were no animals just a robot dog. Kids were not to interested in the show.

    Disappointed

    by KM on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Disappointed-wasn’t what I expected. Was a really great show when I was growing up. Now I was so excited to take my daughter, but I didn’t feel it was worth the money anymore.

    Still the greatest show on earth!

    by Raheem. V on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    I have to honestly say I really enjoyed, I thought the show would be a total bummer without the animals, but Ringling bros did an excellent job at keeping the crown entertained! And the cherry on top. The ring master is a black woman, I loved every moment. And the only reason I didn’t give 5 ⭐️’s was the price.

    Circus

    by Patty on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Overall the performances were great. I feel that the tickets were pricey for 1.5 hours of show. There is a lot of singing in between reminded me of a Disney musical. I wouldn’t see the show again.

    Not the circus your grandma took you to’

    by Rwitzend on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    I guess gone are the days of 3 rings- elephants, clowns and a grand ring master! This new circus did not grab me. Listen, I get the animal thing- I advocate for the safe treatment of all life but that robotic dog? The kids were fascinated by most of all that was offered. The look of wonder was there- but for me, the old timer- I miss the excitement of what was!

    Waste of money

    Disappointed

    by KD on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    Great entertainment but was very disappointed that animals were not included in the circus. As a child, the animals were what made the circus so exciting.

    Very pleasantly surprised

    by llaurra on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    I didn't even know the circus was still around, and apparently it had been on hiatus while it figured out new non-animal acts. And it was worth the wait! The kids (4 and 9) and I were all thoroughly entertained for the entire 2 hours. It truly is an excellent show, and we'll plan to go again when it's in town again next year.

    Ringling Bros

    by Jo on 3/5/24Prudential Center - Newark

    It was mediocre. Not enough action underwhelming. Some really exciting acts but the boring ones were terrible
