The Greatest Show on Earth Gets Fully Charged at Nassau Coliseum
March 17th, 2011 .This Examiner Rates Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey Present Fully Charged:5*****STARS
The 141st installment of Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey circus charged into Nassau Coliseum last night and lived up to its title of the greatest show on Earth.
Fully Charged is their latest edition of the circus, taking family fun and entertainment to new heights, literally.
Parents and children alike were dazzled by acts like The Human Fuse Brian Miser, who flew across the arena, fully ablaze, after being launched from a crossbow, and the Fernandez Brothers, who did aerial leaps and twists in moving wheels called the Twin Turbines of Steel that rise three stories in the air. Truly a show for all ages, Fully Charged seamlessly blends the breathtaking with hilarity, as the Ringling Brothers’ clowns entertained everyone in the audience with their various acts and pratfalls.
The stars of the show, of course, are the animals. From Asia the Elephant, who has been known to moonlight as a painter, to the beautiful zebras, the stunning tigers, and the majestic horses, it’s hard to believe these animals are actually performing such amazing tricks right before your eyes, all thanks to animal trainer Tabayara Maluenda. At one point in the show, you actually witness an elephant ballet, with all of the elephants dancing almost in unison. Tabayara also gets into a steel cage with twelve tigers, which at times, jump through his legs. It’s incredible to watch the connection he has with these animals, and the respect he has for them is obvious.
If watching the fun isn’t enough for you, the circus offers VIP Circus Celebrity tickets, where circus goers can actually join the acts in the center of the arena. Seats are set up midway through the first half of the show, and the Circus Celebrities get to watch the show from the middle of the ring for about twenty minutes. Surrounded by clowns, it really is a surreal, once in a lifetime experience.
Fully Charged isn’t all about fun and games, however. The circus has started an initiative that puts the spotlight on smoke detector safety awareness, and encourages people to check the batteries in their smoke detectors, making sure they are Fully Charged. Smoke detectors save lives, so ask yourself – “Are you Fully Charged?”
The Fully Charged circus experience will be in town until March 20th, 2011, at Nassau Coliseum.
