REVIEW: #RinglingBros "Legends" at the Palace of Auburn Hills - #RinglingLEGENDS

Ringling Bros. Legends show thrills from beginning to end...

On Wednesday night, my son and I were the guests of Feld Entertainment for opening night of the Ringling Bros. "Legends" show at the Palace of Auburn Hills.  Every year I wonder how Ringling Bros. can top the show from the previous year, and some how they to manage to make it bigger and better each time.

This year's show was exciting from beginning to end.  We loved everything from the animal acts to the clowns to the motorcycles in the steel cage of death.  The show was very beautiful with big screens that blended with the acts and costumes that shined all the way up to the top of the arena.

This year there was also a lot of information given about the elephants - their day to day schedule, how they are cared for, what the eat, and even how they sleep.

My favorite act at the #Ringlingbros #ringlinglegends show is the Steel Cage of Death. It gives my chills everytime I see it at the circus 😬😬😬 -#freeismylife #Detroit #michigan #kids #familyfun #fun #smile #spon #circus #videooftheday #video #chills #motorcycles

My favorite act every year is the Steel Cage of Death.  I have no idea how the motorcyclists do what they do and never get hurt.  (see my instagram video above or follow me on instagram at www.instagram.com/freeismylife)

When I was a kid it was rare to see a triple somersault in a circus aerial act. But they performed 4 in row at #Ringlingbros #ringlinglegends show last night 😬😬😬 - #freeismylife #Detroit #Michigan #kids #chills #fun #smile #circus #videooftheday #video #aerial #aerialist

The circus has arrived in metro Detroit!!!

Friday morning the gleaming red semi-trucks rolled into the Hazel Park Raceway with the circus performers, animals, and props for this year's Detroit Shrine Circus. The Big Top and other circus tents are expected to go up today, with the fine details of the site finalized over the coming days.

It's been a year in coming, but they're close to show time. The Shrine circus will run from March 30 to April 1, then again April 6-8, with one day at Port Huron's McMorran Place, April 3.

The 2012 Circus features an all-new show, including one of the nation's few tiger acts, Arabian horses, and an irresistible elephant revue, as well as thrilling international acts and the favorite Shrine clowns.

"The Shrine Circus is Detroit's hometown circus -- a wholesome, affordable family experience," explained William Petrocy, Circus Director. "The Shrine Circus offers local involvement and local people... When you come to this Circus you'll see your neighbor there with his Shrine fez on working in the Circus."

Seats start at $25. Show times are 10:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available by going to www.detroitshrinecircus.com or call 866-992-CIRCUS.

REVIEW: The Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus is "OVER THE TOP" GREAT!

Last night, my son and I went to the Palace of Auburn Hills for the opening night performance of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey "Over the Top" Circus.

The show was fabulous. It was like a high tech video game come to life with booming bass music, high tech monitors showing images that coordinated with the acts, virtual "rings" (as in the typical 3 ring circus) that appeared and disappeared as needed, beautiful stage costumes, amazing trick horse riders, dozens of motorcycle riders who performed amazing tricks on the ground and in the air, pyrotechnic explosions, and unexpected confetti drops - it was totally OVER THE TOP!

For the traditionalists, this circus still has the old favorites of crazy clowns, dog and pony acts, talented pigs, dancing elephants and amazing tiger acts. I did not know how Ringling Bros. were going to top last year's "Bellobration" circus, but this year's "Over the Top" show is completely retooled and brings a totally unique experience.

The Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey "Over the Top" Circus will be at the Palace of Auburn Hills through this Sunday, November 22nd. Please don't miss it...

======================================================
