Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus XTREME Newest Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth® Blends Extremes for the Ultimate Family Entertainment Experience

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus XTREME features artists who redefine the word extreme in everything they do, magnifying traditional elements of the circus and combining them with never-before-seen spectacles, original fast-paced performances and incredibly hilarious moments.

 

The multi-year tour offers extreme thrills, exotic animals and extraordinary performers that add up to the ultimate family entertainment experience. High-wire wizards, powerful strongmen, BMX trick riders, trampoline daredevils, inconceivable contortionists, a high-flying human cannonball, a bungee aerial skydiving display and an international assembly of more than 100 world-renowned artists provide 2 ½ hours of thrilling entertainment. With such an exciting lineup, The Greatest Show On Earth® guarantees to dazzle and astound, and a Ringling Bros.® show wouldn’t be complete without a full menagerie of amazing animals. 

Circus XTREME features beautiful Bengal tigers, two-humped camels ridden by brave Mongolian women, impressive horses and the most popular members of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey family: the magnificent Asian elephants. 

“We pulled from the realm of extreme sports and competitive acrobatics and brought them into the world of the circus, making this the most contemporary show we’ve ever created,” says Producer Alana Feld. “We’ve also pushed the limits of all of our amazing artists and performers to create new and different exhilarating elements, providing audiences with extreme family fun.” 

“With Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Circus XTREME, we wanted to create a show that keeps pace with modern families and caters to the ‘edge-of-the-seat’ thrill that parents and kids are seeking in live entertainment,” says Producer Nicole Feld. “The experience is enhanced by the interactivity of our All Access Pre-Show, and as a mom, I know that’s my daughter’s favorite part.” 

The party starts an hour before the show at the All Access Pre-show, which is free with your ticket purchase. You and your family can meet our international cast of performers and get up close to our menagerie of animals. Try on custom costumes, learn circus skills — like juggling and walking the low wire — from the famous Ringling Bros.® Clown Alley and even have the opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind masterpiece created by one of our very own Ringling Bros. painting pachyderms. 

Ticketholders can purchase an upgrade and go backstage with a VIP Behind the Scenes Tour of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. The backstage experience includes an insider look at props and wardrobe, an up close and personal encounter with the animals and a chance to meet stars from the show. Fans will also have an opportunity to take pictures and learn educational fun facts. To take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, just log on to ringlingbros.expapp.com from your iPhone or Android smartphone and provide your name, e-mail and phone number to become a VIP circus insider.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® to Hold Halloween Food Drive and Build Giant 7-Foot-Tall Jack-O-Lantern on Thompson Center Plaza #chiringling

                Free Circus Tickets Offered 

in Exchange for Canned Food Donations 

to Northern Illinois Food Bank

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® will host a Halloween Canned Food Drive to benefit Northern Illinois Food Bank, 11 a.m. to Noon, Thursday, Oct. 31, at the James R. Thompson Center Plaza, 100 W. Randolph, Chicago. 

Ringling Bros.® will give away one free ticket to an upcoming Chicago-area performance of its all-new spectacular, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Built To Amaze!, in exchange for every standard-sized grocery bag of canned food donated, up to six tickets per donor, while supplies last. 

Circus fans stopping by the Thompson Center Plaza during this time will have the chance to enjoy performances by stars of The Greatest Show On Earth®, including a new generation of the legendary, unicycle-riding, basketball-shooting King Charles Troupe. Also, in what promises to be the epitome of extraordinarily engineered eccentricity, members of Ringling Bros.’ famed Clown Alley will construct a giant, seven-foot-tall jack-o-lantern out of donated canned goods.

For 30 years, Northern Illinois Food Bank has led the northern Illinois community in solving hunger by providing nutritious meals to those in need through innovative programs and partnerships. Since 1983, food manufacturers, local groceries, corporations, foundations, and individuals have come together to donate food and funds, and evaluate and repack food for distribution to 800 network partners serving more than 60,000 hungry neighbors each week across 13 counties. That commitment provided 42 million meals last year to those in need.  For additional information, visit www.SolveHungerToday.org.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Built To Amaze! opens at the Allstate Arena on Nov. 1, with performances through Nov. 11, then moves to Chicago’s United Center, Nov. 20 - Dec. 1. For additional information or tickets, visit www.Ringling.com.
