Kids can help circus celebrate 200 years
Ringmaster Jonathan Lee Iverson invites SanTan Sun families to enjoy a plethora of performers from six continents, including cowboys, pirates, wild animals and mermaids at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baileys FUNundrum!, appearing at US Airways Center June 23 through 27. The super-sized spectacle celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the legendary P.T. Barnum, the Greatest Showman on Earth. Witness the Flying Caceres, who attempt to complete the elusive quadruple somersault on the flying trapeze – a feat that hasn’t been mastered in more than three decades. Enjoy the ability of the Mighty Meetal, the strongest man in the world, as he lifts more than 1,200 pounds. Watch the Puyang troupe from China dazzle with a display of dexterity as they bounce, flip and twirl to new heights on a two-tiered trampoline. See
the contortions of the body benders who fit three humans in a cube the size of a milk crate. And, savor the skills of the hand balancers, featuring Duo Fusion, a married pair of performers with a twist – the wife does the heavy lifting.
Those who arrive an hour before show time can enjoy the All Access Pre-show, which is free to all ticket holders. Meet performers and animals, learn circus skills and enjoy a taste of the performance before the show even starts.
US Airways Center is at 201 E. Jefferson in Phoenix. Visit
www.Ringling.com for the schedule or to purchase tickets, which run $13 to $85. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster by calling 480-784-4444.
