The so-called ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ shut down five years ago. The new Ringling Brothers circus tour is scheduled to launch in September 2023.
After shutting down in 2017, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is planning its return, but with an elephant-sized caveat: The so-called “Greatest Show on Earth,” long celebrated for its animal performers, will now be sans any four-legged creatures.
Feld Entertainment, the family-entertainment giant and longtime Ringling owner, announced Wednesday that it will relaunch the circus with a tour that starts in September 2023 and will visit at least 50 cities in North America. Tickets will go on sale in April 2023. “With all of the craziness and all the news that’s out there, this is a big rainbow across the sky,” he said.
“Ringing is returning with a bang, transforming the saddest show on Earth into a dazzling display of human ingenuity after 146 years of animal abuse,” she said in a statement. Still, Ringling had its fans. Kenneth Feld wouldn’t share revenue figures with MarketWatch, but a Forbes report from a few years ago noted that Feld Entertainment took in $1.3 billion in revenue in 2015 and that the circus accounted for 15% of the company’s sales. A 2009 New York Times story said a Ringling show could draw 10 million attendees over the course of a two-year run.
Ryan Stana, chief executive officer of RWS Entertainment Group, a prominent producer of family entertainment, said there could be a place for a revived Ringling in the marketplace.
