Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at Little Caesars Arena

Who gets the biggest reaction in your family: the trapeze flyers, the daredevil comedian or the acrobats? Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus brings aerialists, acrobats, world dance and comedy to Detroit, giving the family several ways into the same show. Choose it for the human skill, the music-driven format and the pleasure of picking your favorites together.

The Flying Caceres send bodies through the air on trapeze while the Navas Troupe spins the Double Wheel of Destiny with timing that leaves no room for hesitation. Aerial performer Skyler Miser launches skyward on the Ringling Rocket, and special guest daredevil comedian Bello Nock brings his blend of daredevil feats and comedy to the Detroit engagement. Acrobatics meet world dance, pop music drives the tempo, and international performers bring distinct styles into one shared arena.

The appeal lies in the range of talent. A trapeze act invites you to follow coordination and timing; dance brings another expression of physical skill; comedy gives the bill a different personality. You don't need everyone in the family to love exactly the same thing to share an interest in what these performers can do.

Bring the whole crew Saturday night and see which circus act becomes the family favorite.
