Recent Developments
March 2004 saw the debut of the Hometown Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. This innovative, interactive production is bringing top-notch circus quality to towns and cities that have never seen a Ringling Bros. show, or have not hosted one for years. Standing-room-only crowds at early performances indicate Ringling Bros. Hometown Edition will be an outstanding opportunity to entertain even more legions of fans.
To deepen fans’ preshow involvement, in recent years Ringling Bros. has added the Animal Open HouseSM, a fascinating tour of menagerie living quarters, and the Three Ring Adventure®, during which fans are invited onto the arena floor to participate in circus fun with performers of both the two- and four-legged variety.
In 1999, Ringling Bros. also launched Barnum’s KaleidoscapeSM, a total-immersion circus experience beneath the festive spires of a stunning red and white tent.
