Pre-performance updates from Headout were great - giving us all the information needed on how to get to the Empress Museum. The preshow entertainment was so fun. I've been to many shows and this was the most energetic and interactive one yet.

The atmosphere it's sensational, the scene it's great as well... The only point to improve in my opinion it's the main male singer, the voice should be better. She was great.

Come Alive is an outrageous tribute to The Greatest Showman in an immersive circus-meets-musical spectacular. At its heart is the iconic music of Pasek and Paul, which includes anthems like "This Is Me," "A Million Dreams," and "The Greatest Show." Audiences are at the center of a world-class circus performance, with Cirque de Demain awardees and Cirque du Soleil veterans. The lively backstage of a touring circus will greet you the instant you enter the theater. See roving magicians, acrobats, and even palm readers before the main show starts by exploring carnivalesque installations. During this pre-show, the whole arena becomes a lively playground.

While drawing inspiration from The Greatest Showman, Come Alive tells its own story. Witness the rise and fall of Max, a teenage ringmaster who finds themselves suddenly in charge of the show. This performance delves into themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the power of bravery to change lives through this growth. So step right up to the “Greatest Show on Earth”!

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

The performance was top notch, the atmosphere throughout the whole evening was amazing. Favourite moment was one of the stewards entertaining the crowd during the interval.

Absolutely fantastic experience start to end. The concierge got in touch to recommend things to do in London, the preshow was brilliantly organised and the show was truly magnificent. So much going on but so well put together that you couldn't miss a thing. The interaction between the cast and the audience was extraordinary, very talented group of people. And of course the familiar soundtrack to get your heart pumping and hands clapping to the beat. Even my kids 14 and 15, who are not easily impressed, agreed it was brilliant.

The cast. You could feel the emotions and love. I also love the soundtrack and they did amazing with the songs. The acts were stunning and breath taking. Great experience! Only downside is I wish seats were staggered a little better so you can see over persons head infront of you if taking video.
