The Greatest Showman Theatre Breaks
Come Alive, The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular is a brand new story set in the Showman Universe, featuring all the smash hits made famous by the original film: including ‘This Is Me’, ‘Rewrite the Stars’, ‘A Million Dreams’, ‘Tightrope’ and ‘The Greatest Show’.
‘COME ALIVE!’ features the finest international circus stars (Cirque de Demain Medal Winners, Cirque du Soleil) and musical theatre talent from all across the West End.
But the show starts before the curtain goes up. So make sure that you don’t miss the interactive pre-show, with close-up performances, curious characters and the chance to savour delicious food and drink.
As Come Alive starts, take your seats in the amazing 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, creating a Greatest Showman musical extravaganza.

PLEASE NOTE: the theatre is a 7 minute walk from Earls Court so is outside of the London’s Theatreland. So when choosing hotels, look for hotels nearby. Click on the Theatre to Hotel button and you will be served all the hotels close to the show.
The good news is that prices for hotels outside of the West End are much cheaper, so theatre and hotel packages tend to be a little cheaper here!
Currently the show is booking to February next year. I will bring more recommendations soon, but if you are seeing it in January I would imagine you will need an extra layer!
