Feld Entertainment owns "The Greatest Show On Earth," the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. In 1957, while under the direction of John Ringling North, the circus ended its traditional operation as a tent show. The Feld brothers began to manage the show and it moved to indoor presentations using sports and concert arenas for their performances. The Feld family purchased the circus in 1967. Today there are two units performing the traditional circus in local arenas and a third upscale production that performs under the big top. In addition to the circus, Feld Entertainment produces nine touring ice shows, including Walt Disney's World on Ice, and Las Vegas illusionists Siegfried & Roy. Feld tours worldwide each year. They have covered 44 countries and played to over 25 million people. Kenneth Feld is Chairman and CEO, operating out of company headquarters in Virginia. They established a center for Elephant Conservation in Florida and created the Clown College. Major competitors are Cirque du Soleil, Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus, and Ice Capades.
