The Greatest Showman musical to debut in London's West End

The stage musical adaptation of Disney’s ‘The Greatest Showman’ is scheduled to debut in London’s West End at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, with performances expected to begin in spring 2027.

Following a successful, sold-out run at the Bristol Hippodrome, much of the original cast is set to reprise their roles. Oliver Tompsett will return as P. T. Barnum and Samantha Barks will play Charity Barnum. Other returning cast members include Ben Joyce as Phillip Carlyle, Vajèn van den Bosch as Jenny Lind, and Malinda Parris as Lettie Lutz.

The production is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. The musical features songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, including hits from the 2017 film such as ‘This Is Me’ and ‘Never Enough,’ alongside new material written specifically for the stage. The show is expected to incorporate circus elements, including acrobatic performances.
