Last night we went out on a school night and let Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer stay up way past their bedtime. (I know, the horrors!) But it was worth it because Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is in town and it was fabulous!
We went early to hang with some of my favorite mom bloggers (and meet new ones!)and catch the three-ring preshow that begins an hour before the performance. During the preshow, you can get up close and personal with the performers and even participate. Captain Computer jumped in the ring to beat the clowns at a game of tug-of-war and Little Miss Techie loved watching Kelly Anne, one of the elephants, paint. Yes, paint! And of course there was the guy on stilts, costumes to try on, lots of clowns, and ladies in sequins. It was 45 minutes of pre-circus fun!
The Over the Top performance itself is certainly over the top! You’ll see 7 motorcycles zooming around in a cage, tons of sequined costumes, crazy frisbee catching dogs, acrobatic aerials, a parade of elephants, a team of tigers, fireworks, silly clowns, a motorcycle that zooms overhead on a tightwire as a trapeze artist performs below, and so much more! While we thought last year’s Bellobration show was great, this year’s performance was spectacular! To say that Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer loved it would be an understatement!
Over The Top is at the Verizon Center from now to March 22 and at The Patriot Center from April 8-19.
