Barnum: The Circus Musical

Step right up and enter the dazzling world of P.T. Barnum.

Join us, where imagination and ambition know no bounds. Hand in hand with wife Charity, Barnum’s life and career twists and turns as he schemes and dreams his way to headier heights.

Matt Rawle (Cabaret, Evita, Les Misérables) stars as Barnum in this spectacular production directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and circus acts, audiences will delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for.

Come follow the band with the music of multi-award-winner Cy Coleman, Michael Stewart’s lyrics and Mark Bramble’s book. Barnum features show tunes including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.

Step into Barnum’s shoes and on to the tightrope!
