ABOUT THE SHOW
The Greatest Show on Earth is a jaw dropping circus show that is fun for the whole family. The show features a variety of circus acts and performances including aerial, acrobatics, world dance, music, and comedy, all set to a pop music playlist.
The Greatest Show On Earth features a music-infused pre-show celebration. Our all-new Ringling Hype Crew will set the tone by dancing and engaging fans, turning the arena into an instant celebration. With DJ-led moments and surprise audience participation, the party never stops. Preshow starts 30 minutes before showtime. Included with admission.
The Greatest Show On Earth is heading back on tour January 2026. Check out the full schedule and sign up for email and text alerts [link to sign up] to be the first to know when the circus is coming to your town.
The show features special effects including a safe theatrical fog, strobe lights, and fire manipulation. Please contact Customer Service for specific details about the show you are attending.
