I heard an interesting rumor this morning that the "Incredible Shrinking Show" having received bad reviews, is in the process of being modified. I find this hard to believe, in the first place they are past the point of no return and in the second, one of the perks of being extremely wealthy is never having to admit to making mistakes. |

Maybe this was Pappa's shot at giving his little girl a free hand; and if the family jewels are looking tarnished he'll give her an ice show and change up the new improved venture before it hits New York and stinks up the place. Better to die in Florida than to die in the Times, The Post, and the Daily News. Then again if you have the deep pockets you fall back on the old bros solution and find a show that does work, buy it or bring it in from Europe and put your name on it
If you call it "Generic Bros.", will my HMO cover the ticket price, or will Medicare D mess that up too.
OK - did a quick scan and found some articles.
Look Ma, no rings!
Ringling Bros. returns with biggest changes in 50 years
Can there be a Ringling that doesn’t have rings?
There are more - but I grabbed those real quick. When they finally get to the Garden in NYC - it should be interesting. The 1st article was funny. it quoted Kenny "No one got in to see rehearsals, Feld says. Not even employees who weren't working closely with the show.
And although reviews have been mixed, the new edition is still a work in progress.
"The good news is it's live, and every day we have an audience, and we can find out what works and what doesn't work," Feld says. "In our research, we found that circus fans love the circus. For the most part, they love everything we do. Every year we make changes, and this year, they just happened to more drastic."
That's a pretty amusing quote from Mr Feld. Kind of like, "Our research has shown that our audience will swallow anything if we call it Ringling." On the other had when you acknowledge that your new show is a work in progress, isn't that implying that "circus fans" won't infact fall for anything so long as it's called Ringling?
In my humble opinion...Doesn't anyone in the Ringling organization realize that the HOUSE CATS actually do more tricks than the big cats that have been on last year's Blue unit and this year's red unit? Billy
And the house cats are nothing compared to THESE house cats.

Ben...you're right!!! Maybe when the Blue Show is in MSG the powers that be could take a subway ride to see the cat theater. Billy
To Barrythelightingguy: Please share the article about the new wardrobe, etc. with us. What paper or magazine, I would like to read it all. Thanks
