Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents DRAGONS!
Denver Coliseum
Sept. 27 – Oct. 7, 2012

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents DRAGONS, a once in a millennium event where the legend of the dragon meets the magnificence of the circus! Circus performers from the farthest reaches of the earth have assembled for Ringling Bros.® Presents DRAGONS to showcase their astounding acts of bravery and astonishing athleticism. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson presides over this fantastical celebratory tournament of circus champions in a never-before-seen blend of renowned spiritual and real life legends that can be found only at The Greatest Show On Earth®!

The anticipation builds throughout Ringling Bros. presents DRAGONS as audiences witness one phenomenal Ringling Bros. circus act after another, from Shaolin Kung Fu Warriors, charging Cossack riders, magnificent Asian elephants, and fierce tigers to the frenzied Globe of Steel. As the audience observes these and even more real world displays that pay tribute to the dragon, their continued excitement will bring glimpses of the elusive beast. But, the big question remains; what will it take to lure a true dragon from its golden lair?

Ringling Bros. presents DRAGONS opens with the Ringling Bros. Animal Open Houseâ„  90 minutes before show time and the FREE All Access Pre-show 60 minutes before the show where all ticket holders can meet the stars of The Greatest Show On Earth®!
