WHAT: (PRESS RELEASE) Most Electrifying Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth® Yet Charges into Chicago for Month-Long November Engagement
CHICAGO (Sep. 30, 2011) - Tickets go on sale Monday, Oct. 10, for the all-new surge of circus entertainment from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Fully Charged, scheduled to open here Nov. 3. Megawatts of thrills will explode off of the arena floor with breathtaking dare-devilry, superhuman stunts and never-before-seen performances to energize Children Of All Ages, Nov. 3 - 13 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., and Nov. 16 - 27 at Chicago's United Center.
Fueled by excitement-boosting "performance power," Fully Charged is filled with amazing acts that can only be seen at The Greatest Show On Earth®, including Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to stand eye-to-eye with a dozen ferocious tigers, ride rearing stallions at a fully-charged gallop, and orchestrate majestic, four-ton Asian elephants in a symphony of dance. Other highlights include the strongman duo of Dmitry and Ruslan, as wide as they are tall, and the fearless Fernandez Brothers, who attempt a 360-degree, flying-forward somersault, atop spinning, three-story-high steel wheels, a feat so difficult it has only been attempted by one other person in the 141-year history of Ringling Bros. In a fitting finale to this super-charged spectacle, The Human Fuse, Brian Miser, sets the arena sky ablaze as he rockets through the air from his self-made human crossbow, travelling 110 feet at 65 miles per hour.
Fully Charged provides hours of thrilling entertainment that is fun for the whole family for about the price of a movie ticket. A great value in family entertainment, Ringling Bros. is Ticketmaster's number one most purchased family event. Tickets, starting at $13, are available through Ticketmaster and the Allstate Arena and United Center box offices, by calling 1-800-745-3000, or visiting www.Ringling.com.
Audiences are encouraged to come an hour before the show time to the All Access Pre-show - FREE to all ticket holders - and meet the world's greatest performers and animals, learn some circus skills and work to become CircusFit, all before the show even starts!
