Grab your popcorn and clear your calendar because the circus is in town yet. The greatest show on Earth is back at Barclays Center and News 12 Graham is getting in on the action. Oh, she's. Thank you. Finally inside what's feeling like in there? You're giving us a sneak. Yeah, good morning a and Chris, we can really feel the excitement, the energy, the anticipation. We got these performers out here right and early to give us a sneak peek of the show because as you said, the greatest show on Earth is back here at Barclays Center right now. I'm joined by Maria with the low family. This family is famous for their high rising. So when you picture those ropes, that circuses, the family doing flips and jumps, that is them today though. They did bring up the lower rope for me because I will be getting on there later. But first Maria tell me a little bit what it mean to be here in the circus with your family. Well, for us like to make a little comparator between what we feel to be and the part of the greatest honor is like I won the Super Bowl. I would like to be on the Oscar premiere. So that was for us is a huge deal because Ringling Brother B and Beli is an icon worldwide icon in the circus industry. So for us, it's a pleasure. It's an honor to be here and representing not just to my family but an entire community and all the own country, our own culture. So it's a pleasure to be here and the high wire, what people expect they come out and they see that this weekend. Yeah, of course. For this edition, the Lopez family, they've been brought the first time ever triangular high wire. So what did that mean? Is like three wires connecting by an triangular shape. Well, it's gonna be four performing the entire time in the wire. So it's gonna be triple the danger, triple the adrenaline and triple the risky and the triple. So it's so fun. So I think we got to try it for ourselves. Right? I think we need some help over there. Yeah, of course. If you come to the great show. No, you have to try to do something. So, are you ready for it? I am ready. I'd be lying if I say I didn't come prepared. Ive got my sneakers, my stretchy clothes and we're gonna see how this goes. Ok. So basically, first you have to just walk slow, cross 1 ft, one after another. And of course, we're gonna remind all the families come to, come to see the guys. I missed their debut last night here in New York City for their first show. Look at me talking, I'm, they have seven more shows today tomorrow and Sunday tickets are still available. So if you do plan on coming out, there's so many more opportunities to not just see the Lopez family, but all of the other performance, there are 75 performers from 18 different countries. So really a little something for everyone. I mean, we're going to be here all morning, so be sure to tune in and see what happens next and where we, I'll send it back to you guys in studio. I feel like this is the last time we're seeing faith. She's joining the circus. Is that like a can run away? I'm joining them. The new look. Yes. You know, maybe if you keep tuning in, we might be in there next. All right. Enjoy.

Day we're bringing you inside Barclays Center because the greatest show on earth is that? Oh, yeah, the circus returned to Brooklyn last night in our new faith. Graham is getting a sneak peek at the coolest act. She's involved in some of them herself. So, faith, what do you want to now? Yeah, that's exactly right. Good morning. As we are having a lot of fun out here earlier, we were on that low rope. Now we are taking center stage and right now I'm being joined by Wesley Williams. He is known as the one we wonder for so many reasons. I mean, to take a look at the tricks that he has prepared for us and I mean, you really put the definition of walking and talking the same time. I also understand you are in the book of World Records. Yeah, for the tallest r which we're not going to do this early in the morning. But you can come to the show and see that every single performance at Ringling Brothers and Bailey, we didn't want to show off. So the smaller one. Yeah, but you need to get involved here. Hand me some of those juggling clubs, we're going to make it a little bit more difficult. He may hold records, but I decided I kind of want to challenge him be a part of this. Of course, here we go. This one. All right. 230, look at this. Boom. Look at that. That's the trick to the circus really has a way of making you feel like you don't have too many talents. But that's for another 23, a unicycle when you were younger. That's how you decided to quite literally run away with the circuit. What does this mean to you? Just being a part of this? It's a dream come true for me. Like life full circle to come back and have Ringling back after six or seven years not being on the road and to be here in New York City. I mean, who doesn't dream of performing in the big city? So I'm so excited to be a part of it. And so what can people expect if they do decide to come out this weekend? Yes, they can expect the unexpected. It's two hours of nonstop fun. It's the circus at its heart. The magic is still here and we've brought these never before seen acts in 150 years of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. There's never been a crisscrossing trapez act. A human cannon that launches 110 ft at 65 MPH. It looks like we're setting up our double wheels of destiny. So there's a lot of action. It's nonstop for two hours straight. And so I'm told 75 performers, 18 different countries. That's right. How do you guys prepare for something this large? Well, you know what it is like a city without a zip code because we do have 75 performers from 18 different countries. Third in my trucks to take this down the road, 75 crew members. So it's a huge little family and you know what? It's our family, entertaining your families. And so that's how we keep it going because we got to have a lot of trust in each other to do the things that we do every day. All right. Thank you so much. And as we said, the greatest show had their debut premiere here in New York City last night. But there are still seven more chances to come out to Barclay Center, two shows later today. Two and 6 p.m. Tickets are still available so you guys can come out here, get a sneak peek for yourself and see the show. I'll send it back to you guys in studio. Faith in the meantime, get on that one unicycle or multiple cycle. Maybe you can get on his shoulder. Yeah, there we go. That's the plan. You know, I think I would need training wheels for that. But we'll see, you know, you're right, be safe out there, you know, you're having a lot of fun.
