See ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
The iconic circus comes to Boston March 28-April 7.
The circus is coming to Boston and Worcester.
The North American tour of the iconic Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s “The Greatest Show On Earth” will bring a 360-degree experience to Agganis Arena at Boston University from March 28 to April 7, 2024 and the DCU Center in Worcester from April 12-14, 2024.
A globally diverse cast of 75 performers from 18 countries will be led by Lauren Irving, Alex Stickels, and Jan Damm, who guide audiences through the interactive and immersive experience as Aria, Stix, and Nick Nack.
Expect never-before-seen stunts, such as The Triangular Highwire where performers balance on bikes and more on three 25-foot-tall wires connected in a triangular formation and The Double Wheel of Destiny, where acrobats perform back-and-forth leaps and somersaults “atop two simultaneously spinning apparatuses suspended 30 feet above the ground and moving at incredibly high speeds.”
