What does the circus mean to you? To me it’s history, tradition, beauty, feats of human bravery and incredible talent all wrapped up into one spectacular pageant. In short, it’s Americana to the 10th degree. No one has done it longer and better than the Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus and they’re coming to Orlando (and soon a town near you) with their latest production – Legends!
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents Legends at the Amway Center from January 14-18, 2016. It promises to unveil the unbelievable in an unforgettable family might of legendary proportions. And readers of The Disney Blog get a special discount (details below).
Leading the way is Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson who guides Paula, the legend seeker, and the audience on a quest to discover real, living legends from around the world. Audiences will experience Alexander Lacey and his enduring bond with his lions, majestic leopard and tigers during one of the most captivating acts. The Solar Hawks, a dream team of acrobats, come together to amaze by attempting four consecutive triple somersaults on a one-of-a-kind double-wide trapeze specifically designed for The Greatest Show On Earth. The Riders of the Wind, Cossack trick-riders will thrill as they thunder into the arena on the backs of thoroughbred horses stealing your breath with their daring stunts. Experience and learn about the special relationship between trainers and treasured Ringling Bros Asian Elephants as each trainer shows off individual elephant’s natural skills and abilities.
