"'Come Alive' The Greatest Showman WOW!!! I certainly came alive. It was the Greatest Show !!! The pre show cast made my visit so awesome by singing Happy Birthday and the opportunity of having my face jeweled made it so special but when it came to the performance and two of the cast came up to my seat and not only remembered me but gave me two extra hugs it was just amazing. will never forget my 80th Birthday Love to you all Kay D"

MR NEWELL ⭐⭐

"Very disappointing - 2nd rate gymnasts performing to poor covers of 6 Greatest Showman songs. If you’re expecting anything along the lines of the film, forget it. If you like the song Come Alive, you’ll be sick of it by the end. Ridiculous priced tickets and merchandise. Don’t bother with the VIP Experience."

"Great atmosphere, lovely, hard working and talented cast. A hot drink (coffee, hot chocolate or similar) would have been good. Wasn’t sure of the story line."

Lisa Wotherspoon ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We did the VIP tickets and for €200 the seats were so squashed together your knees touched the seat in front of you. The canapés prior and during interval were no where near enough formal the people there. Popcorn should be included for the price."

Things to Know Before You Go

What is Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular?

Come Alive! is a large-scale circus and music show inspired by the world and soundtrack of The Greatest Showman. Rather than retelling the film scene by scene, it uses its songs and sense of spectacle as the starting point for a live Big Top experience featuring acrobats, aerialists and singers.

How does the pre-show experience work?

The story is designed to begin an hour before the main performance. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early to explore the themed environment around the ring, meet roaming performers and enjoy food and drink at the on-site diner and bars. It is a way of easing into the world of the show rather than simply taking your seat and waiting for the lights to dim.

Is Come Alive! suitable for children?

Yes, it is generally recommended for families, with a guideline of around six years and over. As with any live event, there are moments of heightened sound, lighting and physical daring, so very young or particularly sensitive children may need some reassurance. Under-fives and babes in arms are typically not admitted, and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Will I hear the songs from The Greatest Showman?

You can expect a selection of the film’s best-known numbers, including favourites such as This Is Me, A Million Dreams and The Greatest Show, performed live. They are arranged to sit alongside the circus acts rather than as stand-alone musical theatre numbers.

How long does the show last?

The main performance runs for approximately 2 hours 40 minutes, including an interval. If you factor in the recommended early arrival for the pre-show experience, you can comfortably plan for a full evening from doors opening to the final bow.

Do I need to have seen the film to enjoy the show?

No. Fans of The Greatest Showman will recognise the songs and general aesthetic, but the circus storytelling is clear enough for newcomers to follow. The emphasis is on the live acts, the music and the overall atmosphere rather than detailed plot.

About this show

Step under the Big Top for a live circus spectacular inspired by The Greatest Showman as London’s Earls Court plays host to Come Alive!. The experience begins an hour before show time, when the doors open onto an immersive pre-show world of sideshow characters, roaming performers, themed food stalls and bars. Once the lights go down, the focus shifts to the ring, where international circus stars and West End vocalists bring the film’s much-loved songs to life with acrobatics, aerial work and lavish staging. It is designed as a family-friendly celebration of showbusiness, spectacle and the joy of live performance, nodding to the spirit of the movie while remaining very much its own event. If you are looking for a night out that combines a musical soundtrack with old-fashioned circus thrills, this is a natural choice.
