I’ll guess it’s perhaps because Cirque du Soleil has the big market cornered, with Circus Circus filling in the gap of traditional acts? Not even sure if Big Apple Circus has any footing here.
I haven’t seen a Ringling/Barnum show in years, but it’s my assumption that there’s been the push towards the contemporary style of circus (hence Barnum’s Kaleidoscope) and the traditional circus has been declining sharply in popularity.
