Why watch Come Alive
Come Alive is an outrageous tribute to The Greatest Showman in an immersive circus-meets-musical spectacular. At its heart is the iconic music of Pasek and Paul, which includes anthems like "This Is Me," "A Million Dreams," and "The Greatest Show." Audiences are at the center of a world-class circus performance, with Cirque de Demain awardees and Cirque du Soleil veterans. The lively backstage of a touring circus will greet you the instant you enter the theater. See roving magicians, acrobats, and even palm readers before the main show starts by exploring carnivalesque installations. During this pre-show, the whole arena becomes a lively playground.
While drawing inspiration from The Greatest Showman, Come Alive tells its own story. Witness the rise and fall of Max, a teenage ringmaster who finds themselves suddenly in charge of the show. This performance delves into themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the power of bravery to change lives through this growth. So step right up to the “Greatest Show on Earth”!
