Come early for the interactive pre-show experience; enjoy close-up performances, curious characters and savour delicious food and drink. Then 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 featuring 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 feature the finest international circus stars (Cirque de Demain Medal Winners, Cirque du Soleil) and 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 and 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!’.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular
Come Alive! review – acrobatic spectacle squanders The Greatest Showman’s songs
5 / 10
These are copper-bottomed songs but there aren’t enough for a show that, at 100 minutes, is more than twice the length of the soundtrack. Some of them are done a disservice by becoming additional rinky-dink instrumentals. While creative director Simon Hammerstein has engineered a spirited experience, it lacks a knockout performance. You can’t help but notice that Keala Settle from the film is headlining a much cheaper musical elsewhere in town.
Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular | Review
7 / 10
In Come Alive! there are amazing acrobats, jugglers, tightrope and slack rope walkers, a performer suspended in the rafters by her hair, people doing fantastic somersaults twenty feet up after bouncing on a seesaw, others rolling around in neon hoops – the energy could have lit up the whole of the Earls Court area. However one of the problems was that it was often all going on at the same time you didn’t know where to look and also weaved amongst all of this was the nebulous narrative that didn’t seem to have much point. As well as all the circus performers there were some excellently choreographed dancers, three superb singers (Charlotte Hannah-Jones, Whitney Martins and Fallon Mondlane) and a five-piece band who sounded and felt like a lot more!
