Come Alive: The Greatest Showman in London is a truly spectacular show. Visually stunning from start to finish, it features an incredible succession of acrobatics, flips, and juggling acts that constantly leave you in awe. The musical level is outstanding and deeply immersive. The music is not just something you hear, but something you feel, creating an energetic and fun atmosphere that completely pulls you in. The performers are exceptionally talented, and the combination of movement, sound, and visuals makes the experience unforgettable. This is more than a show—it’s a full sensory experience. Highly recommended and absolutely worth seeing.

What an experience, to call this show anything less than a spectacular performance is an understatement.. I truly felt that everybody on stage is so massively talented and they all work together to create such ambiance for the audience! I can't count the amount of times the actors were interacting with me or other audience members. The singing, dancing and acrobatics were so magnetic to watch I was sining all the way home

It was a wonderful show — you don’t see the time go by. It’s so lively, with an amazing atmosphere. You recognize the film’s songs, but in different versions, and it’s incredibly well executed. The performers are truly brilliant. I had an amazing time. I came to London just for this show and I’m absolutely not disappointed. And as you can see in these photos, I was lucky enough to see the singers

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.
