Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus: Zing Zang Zoom January 22, 2009
Jacksonville, Florida 32202
Through the mystery of magic and the mastery of skill, audiences will be spellbound as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey(R) Presents 'Zing Zang Zoom,' a thrill-filled, mind-blowing circus spectacular where family fun is no illusion. Magical Zingmaster Alex and his assistant, the alluring Levitytia, lead audiences through a kaleidoscope of color and imagery revealing extraordinary worlds of fantasy, flight and phenomena that celebrates the uplifting spirit of the circus and wards off a cynical Mr. Gravity and his team of "heavies" who try to bring everyone down. Fun-filled magic merges with traditional circus arts to create a world of infinite possibilities where apprentice illusionists levitate their parents with a wave of a wand, and audience spirits keep rising as the high flying circus is (literally) turned upside down. Perhaps the most magical of all, watch in amazement as an incomparable array of exotic animals including a herd of majestic Asian elephants, magnificent Bengal tigers and elegant Arabian and Friesian horses join forces with our human performers to create an experience that will surprise and delight Children of All Ages, rendering us speechless and reminding us that the magic of The Greatest Show On Earth(R) lives forever in our hearts and imaginations.

As shown in graphic images of baby elephants being trained at Ringling's breeding compound at www.RinglingBeatsAnimals.com, elephant calves as young as 18 months of age are prematurely pulled from their mothers and abused with barbaric training tools, such as sharp metal bullhooks, electric prods, and chains. These violent training sessions, which last for up to a year, are only the beginning of what will be a miserable life of filthy boxcars, grueling performances, and lots of punishment. Please don't go to the circus.
