COLUMBUS, OH – The all-new, all-live 135th Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey rolls into Nationwide Arena for eight spectacular performances Wednesday, November 30 through Sunday, December 4. This electrifying Ringling Bros. spectacle features more of everything – more momentum, more elements of surprise, more audience involvement, more energy – and more super circus heroes and heroines than ever before. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 28 at 10 a.m. at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office and through Ticketmaster.

More than 100 incredible human and animal performers from all over the world, a live band and original score, intoxicatingly colorful and captivating sets, costumes and lighting all come together to amaze and delight Children Of All Ages. Marvel at “America's Best Clown” and comic daredevil extraordinaire, Bello Nock, as he bounces in his psychedelic ball pit or wanders waywardly in his Whirling Vortex of Vertigo. Witness Ringling’s astonishing performers: the death-defying daredevil husband and wife team of the Misers, the jumpin' Windy City Acrobats, and the world's first female quest for the quadruple aerial somersault. This jam-packed, 360-degree, three-ring event -- complete with powerful pachyderms and ferocious felines -- IS the 135th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth!
