I've always wondered what life would be like in the circus.  Perhaps you have some idea?
Never been in a circus but I know it is a company of performers who put on diverse entertainment shows.
Are there different types of a circus?
The word circus just describes the round shape of the performing area. The acts can include musicians, dancers, jugglers, as well as animal performances.
Are the animals treated humanely?
Some would say no. Major circuses have had to close due to protests. The traditional format with a ringmaster was developed in the 19th century.
I've always wanted to see those Cirque de Soliel circus' - those seem so different from the traditional Ringling Brothers type.
They are the largest theatrical producer in the whole world. You will enjoy the bright and energetic performance.
