CLEMSON – Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® brings BOOM A RING, a brand new action-packed show, to Clemson University’s Littlejohn Coliseum May 16-18.
Circus-goers will enjoy an up-close and personal experience close to beautiful white tigers, majestic Asian elephants and thrilling acrobats from around the world. The action bounces from one high-energy act to the next, featuring a daring crossbow presentation that takes archery to new extremes, a gravity-defying performance on the whirling Wheel of Steel, a high-wire extravaganza that tests the limits of human balance and breathtaking aerialists gracefully soaring over the audience’s heads.
Tickets are available now through the Littlejohn Coliseum box office, TicketMaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are $35 for VIP floor level seats, $24 for Front Row seats, $18 for lower level seats and $14 for upper level seats. Group and university discounts are available for the $18 and $14 price levels, call 864-656-6675 for more details.
Ticket-holders can arrive one hour before the show for an all-access pre-show with the opportunity to meet performers and animals, learn circus skills and more.
Shows will be 7 p.m. Friday, May 16; 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, May 17; and 1 p.m. Sunday, May 18. This is the first time Clemson University has hosted the circus, “ We are thrilled to bring real tigers to tiger town!” said Marty Kern, General Manger of Littlejohn Coliseum, “ There is nothing that can compare to a true Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey® experience, this circus will delight and surprise fans of all ages.”
