'The Greatest Show on Earth' rolls into town
'The Greatest Show on Earth' rolls into townRingling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus is coming to town. There is a 25 percent discount if you use the discount code "CHEAP" to get your tickets at the box office or online. The Ringling Brothers/Feld Entertainment folks also are giving $1 from every ticket purchased for a Sunday show to support Nashville public schools through ONENASHVILLE.

January 17, 2011 The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey's FUNundrum Circus is coming to town, and if you want the best deal on tickets, Sunday is the time to go.
Not only is there a 25 percent discount if you use the discount code "CHEAP" to get your tickets at the box office or online, but the Ringling Brothers/Feld Entertainment folks also are giving $1 from every ticket purchased for a Sunday show to support Nashville public schools through ONENASHVILLE.
Regular ticket prices to this 130-performer circus are $14-$25 for most seats, so you can see that this Sunday discount is quite a deal. Your best bet is to buy your tickets at the Bridgestone Arena box office, where you don't have to pay the additional online and Ticketmaster fees.
The circus will be at Bridgestone all weekend, with shows at 7 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
I love the circus and look forward to seeing the Ringling Brothers Asian elephants, the flying Caceres family and the trampoline troubadours. And I'll surely be looking for Andrea Raffo, a third-generation circus performer, who they tell me will be lifted 35 feet in the air by only her long, luxurious locks.
You'll want to arrive early, because there's an hour-long pre-show show where children can try on costumes, interact with the clowns, see some juggling, get a circus "tattoo" and get photos with some of the performers and animals. You'll even get to see a pachyderm paint a preshow portrait.
Every time the circus comes to town, my readers want to know how they can see the animals as they walk from their train to the arena.The best guess is that the free parade will be along Broadway and at about Fifth Avenue about noon on Thursday, but that could change depending on the arrival time and other factors. I'll blog about it Thursday morning with the latest info I can dig up.
