The Circus is Coming! The Circus is Coming!

Yes, Cirque Berzerk is already playing in Los Angeles State Historic Park and Cirque du Soleil is on its way again this fall. But the "real" American circus, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, is bringing its trained elephants, trapeze artists and clowns to three Southland venues this month in their new show Zing Zang Zoom! The tour will start at the Staples Center in LA, moving to the Honda Center in Anaheim and the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario before heading to San Diego.
