We had a great family date night last night at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Built To Amaze! show in Everett, Washington at the Xfinity Arena. What I love about this circus show is that an hour before the show begins, guests can go to the floor for an interactive all-access pre-show. Audience members can pick up dance moves, learn circus tricks, try on costumes, walk the tight rope, and so much more! It is a fun part of the family date night experience.
My husband thought that Ringmaster Andre McClain did a fantastic job leading and singing throughout the show. His absolute favorite part of the show was the Crossbow Casanova act. Andre McClain presents an insanely accurate crossbow act shooting arrows through a thin piece of paper and the stem of a flower held in the mouth of his lovely assistant Ashley Vargas plus ending the act shooting off eight crossbows at once shooting the last arrow at an apple on top of his head.
My daughter actually loved the clown acts with the audience volunteers the best. It was pretty funny. There was a point in that act that both her and I had tears of laughter streaming down our face. I highly recommend this fun-filled show. There are so many fun things to see and a diverse amount of acts.
My favorite part of the show were the daredevil motorcycle stunts inside the Globe of Steel and the heart-pounding tricks on the Dual Wheel of Steel. So amazing! Seeing the motorcycles inside that round ball of steel? Edge of your seat family fun!
