Andre McClain, the circus’ ringmaster and America’s favorite cowboy, takes the Ringling Bros® reins accompanied by his horse, Comanche, and leads his funny and mischievous super circus supervisors to construct The Greatest Show On Earth®.
A favorite was the Arabian horses. They played a game of “musical rings” where the horses perform full waltzes in sync with musical cues.
I loved the King Charles King Charles Troupe Basketball Unicyclists. What they did on the unicycles was inspiring. I know how it difficult it is to ride a unicycle, but to add playing basketball with it as well. That is extremely difficult and awe inspiring.
My daughter who we often call our Jumping Jelly Bean, loved the Trampoline Tower Tumblers. The Tower Tumblers from the Ukraine launch themselves from two trampolines to scale, repel and pass through a three-story high translucent tower! They made it look so easy!!
My son loved the Dog Act. He had a smile so bright while watch it. I really wish they would train my dog. How they got the Poodles, to do what they did in the act was amazing.
The comedy duo was hysterical. No animals were hurt in the act.
I was holding onto my seat during the Stars of the Steel Vortex. Wheel of Steel Acrobats. Where I was seated, I got to see them do their warm ups. They were inspecting the vortex for safety and were doing stretches. They are truly athletes. There was a few times I was scared they would fall, maybe that was part of the act?
My Girl’s favorite was the Tigers. These mighty tigers jump, roar and dance. What beautiful yet scary animals. The Bengal tigers include the traditional Black/Orange, Black/White, Tabby, and all White variations.
How amazing was the Upside down Foot looping. She made it look like a stroll in the park, but was upside down.
A fan favorite (and mine) is the elephants. I love the gigantic, majestic creatures. I loved how they showed off fresh and classic dance moves reflecting each unique talent and personality.
Another favorite is the clown’s. They were supposed to clean up but made a bigger mess. It had my kids and me laughing!
