Lee Mead stars as the world’s greatest showman in Barnum
Step into the extraordinary world of P.T. Barnum, where dreams defy gravity and ambition knows no limits. With his devoted wife Charity by his side, Barnum’s journey is a whirlwind of dazzling spectacle, daring ideas, and theatrical invention.
Lee Mead shot to fame on Any Dream Will Do, going on to star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked, and numerous West End productions. From reality TV stardom to leading man status, Mead now steps into the spotlight (and onto the tightrope!) in this brand-new UK tour.
Featuring a phenomenal cast of 20+ actor-musicians, breathtaking circus acts, and over 150 instruments played live on stage, Barnum is a musical celebration of imagination, artistry, and bold showmanship.
With music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart, and a book by Mark Bramble, the score bursts with show-stopping numbers including Join the Circus, The Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band, and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.
WHAT IS BARNUM ABOUT?
Barnum is the original musical that inspired the legend behind The Greatest Showman. Long before Hugh Jackman brought P.T. Barnum to the big screen, this bold and colourful stage show told the story of the world’s most famous impresario — the man who turned spectacle into an artform.
Blending theatre with circus, the musical follows P.T. Barnum’s rise from small-town dreamer to global showman, with the steadfast Charity Barnum by his side. Featuring dazzling acrobatics, live music, and unforgettable songs, Barnum celebrates the thrill — and cost — of dreaming big.
If you loved The Greatest Showman, you’ll be captivated by the musical that started it all.
