Ringling Bros. Circus Returns with Notable Animal-Free Shows.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is set to return in September with a 55-city, animal-free tour after a six-year hiatus from road performances. The circus has reimagined itself with a 360-degree environment, a circular stage surrounded by video panels, and a focus on human achievement. The latest incarnation of the circus operates with seesaws, bicycles, and areas for performers' skilled acts. The circus whittled 4,000 performer applicants down to a group of 75 performers from 18 different countries.
