My family and I went to the 1:30 show on Sunday and it was not what I had remembered. It was only half a ring, NO CLOWNS, and alot of the acts didn't WOW us. Alot of the show contained banter about the whereabouts of the ring masters hat. My son wanted to leave after intermission and when the second half started we felt as if we were punishing him by making him sit through the second half. I guess even the circus is affected by the times.
