I just finished reading an inverview of Nicole of Ken & Nicole fame in the Philadelphis Inquirer in which she extols the new and improved show, citing the outstanding reviews received so far.
"My grandfather was responsible for reviving the Greatest Show on Earth and my father gave the circus it's splendor."
A lackey named Darin Johnson then added, "We have kept the heart and splendor of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey with this new production but we've added a lot of hip and contemporary aspects to the circus."
Looks like it's up to Mz Feld to face the music, maybe they don't trust anyone else.
I still like Mr. MacPherson's description of the show's story line, "After a while I hoped an elephant would come in and step on that kid!" |

You have to figure the Feld bankroll is good for something.
I found the article Here.
I loved this part....
It has won rave reviews, and Nicole Feld said she expected to pack the Wachovia Spectrum from the show's opening on Thursday through the closing of "The Greatest Show On Earth" on April 30.
It didn't specify if the stands would be packed or the restrooms.
I assume the press dept is very selective in the reviews that Mz Nicole gets to read. That, or "The Lamest Show On Earth" counts as high praise in her circles. Do we assume Mr Feld no longer wants to be quoted in these stories
(from Eric)
Nicole to her father: "Choose your fiction and I'll endorse it!"
'Nuff said.
WHAT BIG TOP???????????
The uncompromising arrogance of this irreverant team has not disgraced the Ringling men, Old PT Barnum, or the quintessential circus manager of them all, James A. Bailey. No, the disgrace and lasting embarrassment has been born of, and has been maintained by, strictly themselves. They got hold of great established names and rejected every opportunity to uphold the signal concepts of the American circus. Their shame will be etched on their names beyond our lifetimes or theirs. Why, in the name of decency, if they had to so offend a great element of showbusiness, could they not have fielded their shows under their own singularly undistinguished names?
Kenneth Feld gave the Ringling show it's splendor?
What splendor?
I must have missed the post-Irvin splendor.
