Lee Mead stars as the world’s greatest showman

Step right up and enter the dazzling world of P.T. Barnum, where imagination and ambition know no bounds. West End favourite and TV star Lee Mead takes centre stage as the legendary 19th century showman in Barnum, at the Lyceum this April.

Lee shot to stardom with his breakout win on Any Dream Will Do and acclaimed performances in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked and Legally Blonde.

This spectacular production directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse will feature an extraordinary ensemble cast of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and amazing circus acts.

Barnum first took the UK by storm when it played the London Palladium, with Michael Crawford making theatrical history with a death-defying nightly tightrope walk across the stage. And now, Lee Mead steps into Barnum’s shoes and on to the tightrope!

Come follow the band with the glorious music of multi-award-winner Cy Coleman, Michael Stewart’s lyrics and Mark Bramble’s book. Barnum features a whole host of classic show tunes including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.

Barnum plays at Lyceum Theatre Tuesday 28 April – Saturday 2 May. Tickets are available here.
