Oh it’s been awhile since I sat through a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus show. But all that changed the other day when I went old school. Today with the fashionable and modern Cirque du Soleil selling out performances, it was a nice to see this family entertainment hasn’t gone away. With kids in tow I sat there enjoying myself. And I must say the circus did not disappoint. Truly entertaining. A great family venue, these guys worked hard. From the acts to the crew there wasn’t a hitch in the show. Even when the trapeze artist missed on the “quad” flip you still marveled at the feat well worth a hand of appreciation.

We had celebrity seating which was a treat. You get pretty close to the action since you’re on the floor but not so close that you would be in danger. No they don’t do this when the elephants or tigers show their stuff. That would be unsafe, but if you’re looking for that little extra by all means pay the extra money for this “step right up” spectacle. And don’t forget to buy your kids the funny paper hats. A great souvenir to go along with your celebrity seating pass. Yes the hologram pass comes with paying for premium seating and for being part of the show.
