On Tuesday, Feb. 28, give the kids a day off and call in sick - because Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is bringing their high-flying circus to Grand Central for the first time.
DNAinfo reports the circus will present a new show called "Dragons" inside Vanderbilt Hall totally free and open to the public. Performances begin bright and early at 7:30 a.m.
The show is being dubbed a "one ring" circus, instead of the traditional three, because of space constraints.
The Shaolin Warriors will perform incredible feats of strength and Kung Fu, twisting metal rods with their bare hands and breaking 6-foot-long wooden poles.
"Dragons" will also feature clowns, of course, but this time with a twist. Beginning at 11 a.m., there will be clown auditions for anyone 18 years and older who have "an overactive funny bone and a heart the size of Texas!"
