Out of This World - An Evening at the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus

Author: Jose G. Barr


Last night the family and I had the pleasure of embarking on an intergalactic adventure at the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus new show "Out of This World". The Ringling Brothers have outdone themselves and reimagined the three ring circus to create a spectacular new show.

The underlying story of good versus evil is woven throughout the evening's performance.  The premise of the show is that a rival circus, led by Queen Tatiana, has taken all of Ring Master Jonathan's acts and spread them throughout various planets in the galaxy. The hero's travel to each planet to collect the acts and bring them back together.

One significant feature of "Out of This World" is that the main floor is ice. Many of the performances are done on skates, while the bigger acts have mats rolled out to cover the ice.  The Heilongjiang Provincial Acrobatic Troupe, performing for the first time in the United States, showcase the mastery of skilled Chinese acrobatics. Their feats of daring include an 11-person human pyramid as well as hoop diving. This amazing troupe performs all this while skating on ice. From trapeze artist and unicycle performers  to the death defying motorcycles riding in a globe of steel,  there is plenty of excitement for everyone.



The highlight of the evening for my son was Alexander Lacey and his lions and tigers.  This man is amazing.  He works and travels with his big cats and has worked with Ringling Brothers B&B on other shows.

 only only disappointment was not seeing the elephants. Ringling Brothers B&B decided to suspend the use of elephants in their shows. their 43 elephants will live out their lives at a conservation center in Florida.  While we miss seeing them in the show, we do applaud their efforts to be great caregivers to those elephants that they currently have.

Arrive early and enjoy the pre-show that is occurring all around you in the stands and on the concourse.  You'll get to interact with the clowns and other performers before the show.  Unlike past shows, because of the ice on the main floor, you will not be able to enter that area.

For those of you in Southern California there is still plenty of time to see this amazing show in person. They are currently playing at the Ontario Citizens Business Bank Arena (through Tuesday July 26, 2016) and will move on to the Honda Center in Anaheim (July 29 through August 7, 2016). Take the kids to see an amazing show that has propelled the circus into the 21st century.

Check out the schedule below if you'd like to see this amazing performance for yourself.

Until next time my friends, love your kids,

Cherish your family.
