Smash-hit show Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular is adding more dates to its London run at the Empress Museum in Earl’s Court.
The show is currently playing until September 2025, but is now adding thousands more tickets and extending its dates until February 2026.

Last month Come Alive! celebrated its 200th performance at its 700-seat Big Top circus arena in London.
The blockbuster show is inspired by the much-loved movie The Greatest Showman, and brings together a Big Top circus spectacular with songs from the movie including ‘This Is Me’, ‘Rewrite the Stars’, ‘A Million Dreams’, ‘Tightrope’ and ‘The Greatest Show’.
Come Alive! features a huge cast of actors, singers, dancers and circus performers, led by West End star Simon Bailey (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Heathers, Jersey Boys) as The Showman, and new talent Aaliya Mai in the lead role of Max.
Executive Producer of Come Alive! Chip Seelig of The Seelig Group, said in a statement: “Reception to the show has been incredible and the atmosphere in the big top each night is electric thanks to the energy our audience and cast have brought to the Empress Museum. Our show offers complete escapism as soon as you step inside the venue – it’s like nothing else in London right now and it’s continuing to redefine what live entertainment can look like. We’re always looking for ways to evolve the Come Alive! experience even further and are working on exciting plans behind the scenes for a one-night-only Halloween event. More details will be released in the coming weeks and dedicated Come Alive! fans will be the first to hear.”
Come Alive! is directed by Simon Hammerstein, with music producer Matthew Brind (Paddington The Musical, Just For One Day). The show’s choreographers are Jerry Reeve and Lukas McFarlane, lighting design is by Adam Bassett for Woodroffe Bassett Design, set design by Ruby Law (Billie Eilish), costume design by Susan Kulkarni, art direction by Mika Handley, and casting by Pearson Casting.
