Aspiring performers across the UK and Ireland have the chance to join the highly anticipated stage adaptation of The Greatest Showman A New Musical, with open auditions announced for March and April 2025.
The search is on for fresh talent to bring the hit 2017 movie to life on stage. It was announced today that Disney Theatrical Group is preparing for the world premiere of The Greatest Showman The New Musical, with a pre-West End and Broadway tryout at the Bristol Hippodrome in Spring 2026.
Casting directors will be scouting for performers to take on roles made famous by Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya.
Auditions will take place in major cities, including Dublin, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Exeter, Newcastle, and London.
The new stage musical based on the smash-hit movie will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (Aladdin, The Book of Mormon) and features the beloved, Academy Award-nominated songs of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, including The Greatest Show, A Million Dreams, Rewrite the Stars, and This Is Me. The duo has also penned five brand-new songs, including Show Goes On, exclusively for the stage adaptation.
The book for the musical is written by Emmy nominee Tim Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Tuck Everlasting), and is produced by Disney Theatrical Group and The Seelig Group, a producer of the original film.
With a West End run rumoured to be lined up at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the casting call marks the first major step in assembling the show’s cast. Performers of all backgrounds are encouraged to audition, as the production aims to capture the diverse and dynamic spirit of P.T. Barnum’s legendary story.
The Greatest Showman The New Musical is playing at the Bristol Hippodrome from March 2026.
