The vibrant and thrilling atmosphere of the Ringling Brothers Circus set to return to Birmingham.
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is set to return to Birmingham from January 31 to February 2, 2025, after an eight-year hiatus. This revamped performance promises over 50 thrilling acts featuring 75 performers from around the globe. Attendees can expect modernized entertainment without animals, reflecting changes in public sentiment, while still preserving the awe that the circus is known for. Tickets will go on sale to the public on August 27, 2024, with pre-sale options available for Ringling Insiders.
Birmingham folks, get ready to have your socks knocked off! The legendary Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is making its spectacular return to the Magic City, and it’s bound to create unforgettable memories! The vibrant show will take over the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex from January 31 to February 2, 2025, after an astonishing eight-year break. That’s right, the circus is back!
This latest production comes after what many believed was the farewell show back in 2017. But the magic is still alive, and with a fresh twist! The circus has undergone a massive transformation and no longer goes by the classic term “circus.” It’s a new experience designed for today’s audience while still retaining that great circus magic we all love!
Prepare yourself for a show like no other! The 2025 performance will feature an impressive lineup of over 50 acts showcasing the incredible talents of 75 performers from 18 different countries. Your heart will race as you watch the jaw-dropping triangular high wire act with three performers walking in perfect harmony. And get this: there’s a spectacular crisscross flying trapeze act that will leave you breathless.
If you think you’ve seen it all, just wait until you see Wesley Williams and his eye-popping unicycle skills. Holding the record for the tallest rideable unicycle at a staggering 34.6 feet, Wesley ensures the show is not just about observing but also about getting the audience involved. That’s right, engagement is a key ingredient in this reimagined show!
No more classic mile-long circus trains whisking performers, crew, and elephants across the country! Instead, the production now relies on trucks and commercial airplanes for transportation. It’s been a decade since animals were part of the performances, as the company shifted gears in response to public concerns about their treatment. It’s all about keeping it ethical while delivering a show full of wonder!
Can you believe the circus has been enchanting audiences for nearly 150 years? That’s older than Coca-Cola and the Kentucky Derby! Today, the show utilizes about 30 semi-trucks to transport show materials, while performers travel comfortably by air and bus. Talk about modern-day travel for such a rich heritage!
Mark your calendars, because tickets for the general public go on sale on August 27, 2024. But here’s a little insider tip: if you sign up as a Ringling Insider, you can snag some pre-sale access! This show is carefully crafted to be family-friendly, designed to connect with audiences of all ages, making it a fabulous outing for everyone.
As part of this reimagined extravaganza, expect a delightful mix of live music, thrilling BMX bike stunts, and the heart-pumping Double Wheel of Destiny. The production is not just a feast for the eyes but a whole event that audiences can be part of, ensuring that the magic of the circus lives on!
Parts of the old circus train have found new life through repurposing or museum displays, making way for a brighter, more vibrant tomorrow. Wesley Williams still recalls being captivated by his first Ringling show at just six years old, and now he’s helping to guide the circus into a new era aimed at rekindling that legendary magic for today’s audiences across the U.S.
Birmingham, get ready to be dazzled! The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is all set to brighten your winter with an amazement-packed show that promises to be a blast for the entire family!
