Working his way through college on his summer vacation is Tyler Herriott Koch at the outside Program Booth. Tyler is the third generation of the American Circus dynasty to be associated with The Greatest Show on Earth. His mother, Heidi, and sister, Cassidy, attend the mini-menagerie supplied by The Commerfords. Heidi and Cassidy answer constant questions from the city-bound New Yorkers. This interaction is very popular with the families. A mini donkey was born while in Coney Island and has been named, "Cyclone" in honor of the famous roller coaster.
"Those of you who know me personally are well aware that I call it like I see it. So be it known that I had a hellavu good time at RBBB Gold under the Big Top. Don't miss it, the show is turbo-charged with energy from the start to the end, the cast has personality plus, the band had my feet tapping several times and the "seen it all" New York audience is just eating it up. The applause is thunderous.
I attended the middle and last shows of a three show WEEKDAY schedule, the houses were 3/4+ full out of 2000+ seats. Those of you who know me also know that I know how to count a house! LOL.
I cannot wait to see it again!
I hope RBBB at Coney Island becomes a regular thing because it will easily establish itself as a summer circus tradition as BIG APPLE is the winter circus tradition in New York City.
Two completely different styles of circus, two vastly difference demographics audiences in one big city. There's enough room for everyone.
The Gold Unit is pure gold."

I don't know if my friend Mike was swept up by the moment, in on the fix or lingered in the blue room a bit too long but this is about as cobbled up looking operation as I have ever beheld.
Particularly after having just seen Jimmy Hall's pictures of Circo Hnos. Vasquez.
Someone should take that blanket down off the clothes line and send it to the Red Show.
Although I have not seen the Coney Island setup I did have the opportunity to see the show in April. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Out of the 3 RBBB shows the Gold is my favorite!
I am totally enamored with all the show performers and thoroughly enjoyed every act. My favorite part of the show is when Justin Case takes his ridiculously tiny bicycle through a flaming hoop. Absolutely fantastic!
As for the other effects put together for the show I can make no judgment.
Cheer!
