Highly recommend! Don’t hesitate—book this show now. You arrive around 7pm and there’s so much to enjoy beforehand: bars, food, and brilliant entertainment from the actors. The food and drinks are reasonably priced, especially for London. The show itself was unbelievable—one of the best nights I’ve had! There truly isn’t a bad seat in the house, so just book it!

It was one of the best Theater/Musical experiences ever. When you get there there is like an entire show before the actual show starts. There are Tents and Bars everywhere with everything from foods and drinks to makeup and magic shows! And the actual performance was just amazing. The act were great and the music was just "wow". Everything was perfomed live!

An absolutely incredible show! Come Alive is an immersive experience from start to finish: spectacular staging, amazing performers, an electric atmosphere, and top-notch organization. You are immersed in the world from the moment you walk in, with every detail carefully thought out. A timeless moment in London that is not to be missed. I recommend it 100%!

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”!

A unforgettable night out. Because all seats are close to the scene, you find yourself in the action, not only watching. The musical and the circus artists were interacting with the audience throughout the night. In all a very recommendable and affordable show for anyone having a free evening in London.
