Come Alive! Greatest Showman circus spectacular review

And, it seems I’m not the only one who can’t control themselves when it comes to the catchy Greatest Showman soundtrack, because at the new Come Alive show they literally do sing, dance and do flips in the air.

In fact more than flips, it’s a circus spectacular that will leave you on the edge of your seat, gasping, screaming and wanting more and more.

Walking tightropes – literally, flipping, jumping, acrobatics and more.

Come Alive has extended its run until March 2025 at the Empress Museum in Earls Court, and I’m glad because that means more and more people will get to see it.

It features West End talent and inspiring international circus acts, along with performances of all of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul’s hit songs from The Greatest Showman movie.

All ticket holders are also invited to explore the world of the Empress Museum before taking their seats in a 700-capacity Big Top – as an added bonus extra.

My boyfriend and I went to see the show as a Friday night date night, and when telling my friends every single one of them responded ‘OMG I want to see that’.

When I was there, I got the hype, and I’ve recommended it to everyone since - it was epic!

The acts, the singing, the talent, the skill, the shock, the sparkle – I’d recommend anyone and everyone to see it while they still can.

It’s a theatrical spectacular featuring West End sensation Simon Bailey who takes the lead as a modern day showman alongside Aaliya Mai who is making her professional debut in the lead role of ‘Max’ – a shy young roustabout who has grown up with the circus, has a gang of misfits behind her and is yet to discover her true potential.

The audience got involved, and it was great to see such a mix of people of all ages enjoying and singing.

Everyone had a smile on their faces and it was so feel-good that I listened to the Greatest Showman all the way home.

Get your tickets now and make someone’s Christmas, I promise you won’t regret it.
