Rochester, N.Y. -- Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey ® is re-imagining itself and the American circus. The 136th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth runs May 9-13 at the Blue Cross Arena. It promises high-speed action, cutting-edge technology and an interactive adventure that can only be defined as a Circus-Sized Spectacle!
The 136th Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will be presented in an entirely new format - re-defining The Greatest Show On Earth. In fact, this bold and contemporary production will look and sound like nothing audiences have ever experienced at Ringling Bros.
For the first time ever, Ringling Bros. will introduce a fun-filled story line to the circus experience - taking audiences on a magical circus journey. And a jumbo video screen will bring the audience closer to the action and have them participating in this highly interactive production from start to finish.
From the Cossacks' unbelievable equestrian stunts to feats of athletic acrobats, the 136th Edition of Ringling Bros. will take daredevil thrills to a whole new level. And one hour before show time, families can join Ringling Bros. athletic performers in getting CircusFitsm at the FREE All Access Pre-show.
