A brand new circus entertainment show that is inspired by blockbuster film musical The Greatest Showman is set to open in London this autumn 2024.
Titled Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular, the new circus show will have creative director Simon Hammerstein at the helm. Simon Hammerstein is grandson of iconic lyricist Oscar Hammerstein of Rodgers & Hammerstein fame.
The show is billed as a circus spectacular, and is inspired by the smash-hit 2017 movie starring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron and Zendaya.
The film was directed by Michael Gracey, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon based on a story by Jenny Bicks, and had original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.Â
Produced by Outside The Box Amusements, who have worked with Usher in Vegas, Cirque du Soleil and Disney, the circus show will also feature songs from the film.
There are no current details on dates or venue for the show in London.
It is unknown whether this new circus show will impact the much-rumoured Disney stage musical adaptation of The Greatest Showman, which had workshops last year in the US.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen), who wrote the original songs for The Greatest Showman movie, are heavily involved in the new stage show.
