Over The Top is a wacky circus spectacular where Ringmaster Chuck Wagner and clown eccentric Tom Dougherty compete for control of a magical top hat that brings to life their fantastical imaginations. Dogs fly, Asian elephants skip, hop and groove and one man stands eye-to-eye with a pack of Bengal tigers. Motorcycle madness also ensues as one cycle hits the high wire and seven speeding riders take on the Globe of Steel.
See thrilling, soaring acrobats and daredevils...Catch the clowns, dancers, trainers and aerialists...It is all new -- and it is even more magical with dazzling lights, powerful music and incredible visual effects that seemingly spring to life! You will not believe your eyes when clowns are transformed and one very big part of the show DISAPPEARS!

Please do not take your children to circuses with performing wild animals. It is time for this cruel and uncivilized practice to end.
to see covert video of RinglingBros and Barnum&Bailey Circus workers beating and abusing these poor creatures. In a pitifully weak reply, RB,B&B Circus questioned the veracity of the videos and cited numerous veterinarian checks. THE VIDEOS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT FAKED & I would question the veracity of their vet checks and ask if they were able to assess the MENTAL state of these confused and scared animals. Wild animals belong in the wilderness. Animal "training" is only done by using fear and pain. Stealing wildlife from natural habitat and making money off it is WRONG. Come back to our community when you RETIRE ALL PERFORMING WILD ANIMALS!

I caught them at HP Pavilion in San Jose and just had a wonderful time. My girls were awestruck with their attention constantly held by the acts, lights and fireworks, and dancing. Asked of their favorite part, the list just went on... the elephants, the dogs, the flowers, the horses, no tigers, the gymnasts...
Only criticisms are the outrageous prices for food and other concessions and the animal rights protesters outside who, though I completely understand where they are coming from, should have a little more sense than to protest so overtly where so many toddlers and children are present.
Also, be careful with the inexpensive tickets. You can get to the circus for around $15 but the view is likely obstructed; we completely missed the trapeze artists and spent 15 minutes entertaining the kids.
