There is nothing like the circus to remind you of the fun of being a kid! The clowns, the acrobats, the high-wire, the animals, the human canon! It’s all so fun!!
We were lucky enough to attend Ringling Bros Zing Zang Zoom about 2 years ago – and both my boys still remember it! We were all very excited to go see the new Ringling Bros Fully Charged, which opened in Phoenix last night at US Airways Center. Once again, we were reminded why this is called “The Greatest Show on Earth”! The beautiful visuals, great music, and amazing death-defying feats were enough to mesmerize all of us for the full 2 1/2 hours!
The great thing about the circus is that everyone, of all ages, can enjoy it. We sat behind 3 older couples (probably in their 60’s), who were as giddy as teenagers as they watched the show unfold. A few rows behind us was a family with baby and another child who was about 4. Both children squealed in delight watching the clowns falling down and being silly. I have two boys – 5 and 10 – and neither could take their eyes off the stage!
Our entire family was enthralled watching the Danguir Troupe’s dangerous high-wire stunts. I gasped quite a few times during their act as they played leap-frog on the high-wire and performed a shoulder to shoulder leap. They were so fun to watch!
My 5-yr old son couldn’t stop laughing whenever Stas and Vas were in the ring. All the children (as well as the adults) thought they were just hysterical! Both my boys got red clown noses and have been acting so silly since we got home last night! It’s been fun to watch them!
We all loved Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer who is as much fun to watch as the animals he trains! He was in a cage with 12 ferocious tigers – directing them to do various tricks as if they were cute little kittens. Amazing — and heart-stopping!
The Brothers of Brawn were this awe-inspiring mix of brawn and grace. The first time they come out to the ring, all you can see is how big and strong they are. THEN, they come out a second time and do graceful moves and stunts that many ballerinas would be proud of. It’s hard to get your head around the fact these boys are BIG AND GRACEFUL – and, oh so fun to watch!
