From Bristol to the Big Smoke: The Record-Breaking Launch
The West End transfer follows a hugely successful, sold-out eight-week premiere at the Bristol Hippodrome. The regional run generated massive buzz, drawing theatergoers from across the country to witness P.T. Barnum’s story reimagined for the stage.
West End veterans Oliver Tompsett (& Juliet, Wicked) and Samantha Barks (Frozen, Les Misérables) will reprise their leading roles as P.T. Barnum and Charity Barnum after earning rave reviews in Bristol, as announced at this weekend’s Disney DS3 expo.
What to Expect on Stage
Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin), the stage production brings the beloved 2017 20th Century Studios film to life with high-flying aerial routines, live magic, and massive ensemble choreography.
Alongside the Oscar-nominated, chart-topping score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul—featuring anthems like “This Is Me,” “A Million Dreams,” and “Rewrite the Stars”—the stage show includes brand-new original songs written by the duo specifically for the theatrical production.
