This is mostly for those of us in the northwest of The Old North State, but certainly this "circus" may be in a town near many at some time in the future.

There was a banner ad at the top of my DBR this morning. The advertisement was for the Picadilly Circus that is appearing at LJVM in Winston-Salem on March 10th. Having been suckered into seeing a couple of these wandering excuses for a circus, I decided to see if there were any reviews for this one. There are several, but this link below should suffice. I'd love to actually go to a circus that sets up under a big top and operates like an old-time circus, but this one doesn't even offer that much. And from the descriptions I saw, it seems that the few animals they do have may not be in very good shape.

If anybody does know of an old-time circus that's worth seeing, let me know. I'm not wasting my cash anymore without a good recommendation.

Animal abuse at circuses has been replaced with AMAZING talent with each Cirque du Soleil. Barnum and Baily,Piccadilly and others, along with rampant animal abuse by traveling state fair providers, should just pack it in, or re-invent themselves minus the animal abuse.

I'm proud to say that my son and i picket the circus every time it comes to town...

Thanks for the info! This looks like the real deal. It would be nice if they travelled more.

Yea, except my kids are bored to death by Cirque and lose their minds for RBB&B. Not trying to say what they do is right, and we don't go anymore, but I can't drag my kids into another cirque show.
