West End favourite and TV star Lee Mead takes centre stage as the legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum in a new staging telling the story of The World's Greatest Showman. 

An ensemble cast of over 20 actor-musicians will play 150 instruments, perform acrobats and circus acts. Audiences are certain to delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for.

Barnum first took the UK by storm when it played the London Palladium, with Michael Crawford making theatrical history with a death-defying nightly tightrope walk across the stage. And now, Lee Mead steps into Barnum’s shoes and on to the tightrope!
