Late last year Come Alive! celebrated its first birthday in London with a major gala event. In December, the cast of the show appeared on Blue Peter’s Christmas Cracker for a show-stopping performance.
The show’s success in London has also led to international ambition, with the circus spectacular set to premiere in Australia.
Come Alive! is not to be confused with Disney’s The Greatest Showman The Musical, which is playing a now sold-out run at the Bristol Hippodrome this spring, starring Samantha Barks, Oliver Tompsett and Ben Joyce.
