on Wednesday. Tickets will go on sale in April of next year for a tour that will bring the revamped circus to more than 50 North American cities.

"The audience will surround the performance space, and connect in a more meaningful way," Juliette Feld Grossman, chief operating officer of Feld Entertainment, told CBS MoneyWatch. The performances will tell"stories of who our performers are," said Grossman, noting the cast will come from around the globe.

"Ringling is returning with a bang, transforming the saddest show on Earth into a dazzling display of human ingenuity after 146 years of animal abuse," Rachel Mathews, PETA's foundation director of captive animal law enforcement, said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch."PETA is cheering on the animal-free revamp."

Go to the Zoo people that's where they belong.

Can call it however you want but don't say it's a circus

A TV program such as America's Got Talent is the proof that people will come and watch oddball groups of people doing semi-interesting things in an arena. Recruit from that pool of talent and it might work. Some people will always come to watch daredevils do a variety of stunts

Why go to the circus if there are no animals?

GOOD. They've been abusing captive animals long enough.
