A total immersion in the world of the vintage circus from the moment we arrived, and a show to take your breath away. The acrobats are very strong, the costumes are magnificent, the scenery splendid...and the Greatest showman songs...I already loved them but they are very well sung and that only adds to this superb show! We loved it!!!

Loved it such a wonderful cast of performers. The show was funny happy and alive. The singers had amazing voices so powerful. amazing gymnasts and so much variety. One of the best shows I have seen for a while.

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.

I've always wanted to see the show since the movie the greatest Showman came out. I have seen this performance twice now, and it just gets better! The music, the performances and the venue are all excellent!

Ticketing was fine. Show was fun, weak storyline. Should have stuck to the movie more, where misfits are given a chance.
