Feld brings back 'The Greatest Show' — with a twist

Forget a dozen clowns stuffing themselves into a Volkswagen Beetle, peanut shells on the ground and jugglers and acrobatics vying for oohs, aahs and gasps from the crowd — a group famously known as “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.”

The new and improved greatest show on earth, from Palmetto, Manatee County, live production and performance giant Feld Entertainment, instead is a post-pandemic, tech-infused, multi-platform reboot of the famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show. Feld, in a May 18 statement, announced what company officials call the “long-awaited” return of the iconic live show, followed by a press tour with members of the Feld family.
