Absolutely amazing! I don't think you could choose a bad seat as I imagine the view is just as good from wherever you sit! The atmosphere was amazing, the show was magical. The performers was incredible and engaged with the audience throughout. Such a talented cast and we can't wait to go again. Might need to upgrade to VIP next time for unlimited drinks 😉

A lively atmosphere from the moment you walk in A circus show featuring high-flying acrobatics, with a musical theater vibe in the background, in my opinion. The show is clearly visible from every seat, and the proximity to the performers lets you soak up the atmosphere from start to finish. Perfect for the whole family.

Very good experience, definitely different to the movie but same premise, the lead singer gentleman was very good up until the point he was singing in what I can only describe as the character from it when he was whispering, eerie and striking, but after that went back to singing and was very good all round

The performance was amazing! Unlike any stage show I've ever seen. It's a circus, a musical, and a big party that feels so inclusive all wrapped up in a big sparkly bow. They also have a whole circus themed pre show with performances and props and the lovely cast walking around. 100% would see again

The whole immersive experience before and during the show. It is also intimate and so inclusive due to the size of the theatre. It was just an amazing experience from start to finish! My daughter and I loved it!! Plus you are encouraged to sing along and we knew every word!

This was an excellent show fully of highly skilled performers and high energy throughout. The tour at the start was very interesting and all the circus sideshows were very entertaining.

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.
