Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular in London

Are you ready for vibrant colour, beautiful music and thrilling performances? Head to Come Alive - The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular, situated in a purpose-built big top to delight you and deliver the fun of the circus... with a difference.

About Come Alive - The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular

Come Alive delivers a feast of extraordinary feats, amazing circus skills plus classic and contemporary circus artistry, all mixed up with the finest musical theatre to create real family magic. Loosely based on the 2017 movie everyone loves, you’ll adore this vivid, inspiring show.

Come Alive – The story

The plot is inspired by the real life tale of legendary American circus owner P.T. Barnum, whose 1800s vision of perfect entertainment brought him from humble beginnings to become the creator of the world’s first ever circus. As you can imagine it was a smash hit and made him the household name he still is today.

Barnum gathered together a group of unique and unusual people, many of whom had never been treated kindly or with respect before he brought them on board. Barnum’s diverse group of performers showcased their brilliance despite the social prejudice they suffered. This gorgeous show tells a brand new story but you’ll probably recognise some of the lovely show tunes from the film, including This Is Me, Rewrite the Stars, A Million Dreams, Tightrope, and The Greatest Show.

Amazing! A wonderful immersive experience.

We had VIP tickets and for adults this is absolutely worth the money. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Free-flowing champagne and other drinks, canapés and entertainment before the show. The venue is awesome, the food is great, the atmosphere was uplifting. The show is jam-packed with amazing stunts, all of the great songs from The Greatest Showman and a wonderfully talented cast. So much going on you don’t know where to look but we absolutely loved it. All seats will give you a good view.

Captivating

A very pleasant surprise on arrival to be given the news I had VIP tickets without realising when purchased. The whole experience behind the scenes with cast members mixing with you I've never experienced before & was a complete bonus, their interaction with out being in the show made the experience much more than just a show. Being a big fan of the film I was hoping I guess for similarities and was not disappointed, the actors were outstanding & the show as a whole was jaw dropping spectacular. Throughly enjoyed the complete experience & would recommend to anyone in a heart beat.

This show was absolutely amazing!! From the minute we walked in the doors, the music, the acts and atmosphere and was electric!! Decor was astonishing- the carriages, the tents.. everything you’d expect from a circus. We went with 2 children who loved it as much as the adults! The acts were phenomenal- such talent and totally fearless- how they did them so easily is unbelievable! Definitely would recommend this to ANYONE! The best nights entertainment in London for sure!

What a great night out. We bought this for the family for our Christmas presents and although expensive, we were delighted with the show. A great preamble in advance with characters coming out to meet the customers. We decided to go for the VIP and they did not limit our drinks! Shame that the children had to pay the same price for their tickets!

Beautiful but not comfortable

The performance was beautiful! Great show and entertainment. Also the venue was beautifully decorated! A total experience. The seats were very small and leg space was minimal. So if you’re a certain height, you should be sitting front row. So the comfort could be better for the price. Beautifully sung! Only the music was way to loud, we’d advise you take some ear plugs with you.
