What to watch for
- London Theatre said of the show, "It is undeniably impressive — the circus is as good as the likes of Cirque du Soleil, and in this 700-seater venue, you get a much better look at the acts, too."
- The soundtrack to Come Alive is from the film The Greatest Showman, which earned numerous awards including a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for This is Me, and it won a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
- Before even getting to the stage, you'll feel like you're at the circus thanks to the ringmaster's jacket in a glass display alongside food trucks, costumes on display, and fortune teller huts.
- WhatsOnStage said of the show, "Creative director Simon Hammerstein (yes, relative of that Hammerstein) knows exactly how to make sure his audiences have a good time, with whimsical interactive sequences and a general sense of earnest endeavour. There's not a drop of cynicism in this heady circus cocktail."
