Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey - Over The Top

We had the pleasure of seeing the "Over The Top (blue tour)" production at the Reliant Stadium in Houston. We were unable to attend opening night as previously posted due to scheduling conflicts. Thankfully we were able to attend the show on Friday thanks to Mom Central and Feld Entertainment . This was the first time that our toddler and baby had been to the circus and they loved it!

My husband and I were talking about how great the pre-show was from a marketing perspective. They allow the children to come to the floor and meet the acts and have them sign autographs and see the animals up close. This is the part they are still talking about. That was a lot of fun for us too because I remember getting autographs from the clowns as a child. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey was my first circus too. Isn't that neat how it has come full circle? Now, I had the opportunity to take my own children.

Also what we found to be a great benefit is that they changed their set up from a three ring circus to one ring. That to us was such a better way to see the show because we could focus on one thing at a time. The last time we saw the circus it was about 7 years ago and it was in the summit which is now the home of Lakewood Church.

Wait till you see all these acts! If after you watch the slide show of photos I took please go to their site to see if they are coming to your area click here.
