Event description

Be transported into the high-flying world of the circus in the world premiere of Come Alive. Book Come Alive tickets on London Theatre.

From the moment audiences step into the Empress Museum, they’re brought into the glittering world under the Big Top through an interactive pre-show experience complete with up-close performances, which begins an hour before the show. Once the show starts, prepare to be dazzled by the exceptional circus acts with all the hit songs from The Greatest Showman, including This Is Me, The Greatest Show, and A Million Dreams. This circus spectacular tells the story of the cocky ringmaster who works to convince a circus fanatic to get on stage despite her boyfriend’s disapproval.

Come Alive in London stars Simon Bailey (Moulin Rouge!) as The Showman and Anoushka Tandon-Sangar as Max. The show includes singers Whitney Martins, Deshawn Gordon, Eva Yuste, Greg Oliver, Maia Hawkins and Micky Dumoulin. The exceptional dancers are Genie Gledhill, Mia Jayne, Ebby Sama, Ross Wilkins, Elliot Brady, Ethan Brenchley, Rachel Gardiner and Grace Hope Charles. The talented circus performers include Bella Diosa, Tybald Griesbacher, Roman Karpovich, Jackie Le, Dean Murrel, Sam Nash, Antino Pansa, Josephine Urry, Jimmy Wong, Kieron the Mighty, Eric McGill, Ebony Gumbs, Kai Hou, Nathan Briscoe, Sam Barnes, Shona Morgan and Tara Talland.

As London Theatre said of the show, “It is undeniably impressive — the circus is as good as the likes of Cirque du Soleil, and in this 700-seater venue, you get a much better look at the acts, too.”

Come Alive is a circus show with creative direction by Drama Desk winner Simon Hammerstein (Queen of the Night). Olivier Award-nominated Matthew Brind (Just For One Day) is the music producer, Jerry Reeve (Taylor Swift) and Lukas McFarlane (The X Factor) are the choreographers, Emmy Award-nominated Adam Bassett is the lighting designer (London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony), Ruby Law (Warrior Queens) is the set designer, and Susan Kulkarni (The Peripheral) is the costume designer.
