See the set design in action!
Hear some historical context on Barnum's American Museum.
The Greatest Show on Earth today.
See the Oldest Woman in the World, Joice Heth! Tom Thumb, only 23 inches high! Dancing elephants, fire eating, high-wire walking, fun for all ages!
Come follow the band (and the crowds) to the Tony award-winning tale of that legendary master showman of the Big Top, the prince of Humbug, P.T. Barnum. The worlds of musical theatre and circus fuse into a vibrant celebration of the colorful, creative, and driven life of the World’s Greatest Showman. You’ll experience the tale of his rise to the top of showbiz, played out against his bittersweet personal life, to the music of the one and only Cy Coleman.
