COME ALIVE! – The Official Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular

Take your seats in a 700-seat Big Top where circus meets musical theatre in an epic Spectacular, featuring a brand-new story inspired by the 20th Century Fox Motion Picture and all the hit songs by Pasek and Paul, including This Is Me, Rewrite the Stars, A Million Dreams, Tightrope and The Greatest Show.

COME ALIVE! will showcase the finest international circus stars (including Cirque de Demain Medal Winners and Cirque du Soleil performers) alongside musical theatre talent from the West End.

At the helm of the production is Drama Desk award-winning Creative Director Simon Hammerstein. As co-founder of The Box, the mastermind behind Usher’s sold-out My Way Las Vegas Residency and producer of Queen of the Night, Hammerstein brings his unique flair and live experience expertise to COME ALIVE!.

Music Producer and Olivier Award-nominated Matthew Brind (Paddington 2, Just For One Day, Legally Blonde – West End)
Lead Choreographer Jerry Reeve (Taylor Swift, The Queen’s Jubilee Platinum Party At The Palace)
Emmy Award-nominated Lighting Designer Adam Bassett for Woodroffe Bassett Design (The Rolling Stones SIXTY Tour 2022, London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Adele – Live)
