Event & Arena News

The all-new 132nd Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey rolls into Nationwide Arena for eight stupendous performances April 30 - May 4. This year’s show promises masterful displays of extreme daredevilry and heart-stopping spectacle.

The commanding center of The Greatest Show On Earth, Ringmaster Kevin Venardos guides Children of All Ages through a limitless journey of adventure. The incomparably amusing David Larible, The Prince of Laughter, takes center ring with his mime, juggling, dancing and comedy - all in one unusually lovable package. In a gripping display of strength, the bold and beautiful Sara, The Tiger WhispererSM, Circus Siren Sylvia Zerbini and The Empress of Equilibrium Mei Ling, make the three rings rumble. The courageous T.M. The Gator Guy amazes audiences with the breathtakingly daring feats of his beloved pythons and alligators. Crazy Wilson exudes pure bravado on the Whirling Wheel of Death as he somersaults back and forth and leaps in and out of the Wheel's slick perimeter.
