Barnum Tickets 2026

Step right up for Barnum – a spectacular new UK tour opening in 2026! This bold, colourful musical is inspired by the life and legend of P.T. Barnum, the showman who sparked The Greatest Showman.

West End favourite and TV star Lee Mead (Sister Act, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked, Any Dream Will Do) leads the cast as the legendary 19th-century entertainer, P.T.Barnum.

Reimagined for a new generation, this fresh production of the Broadway classic bursts with ambition, imagination and illusion. With over 20 actor-musicians playing 150 instruments, plus dazzling acrobats and circus acts, Barnum promises music, magic and unmissable theatrical spectacle.

P.T. Barnum always dreamed bigger. From sideshow curiosities to worldwide fame, he spun stories, built empires, and redefined the meaning of spectacle. Alongside his devoted wife Charity, Barnum’s journey is filled with dazzling highs, devastating lows, and the irresistible pull of something greater — no matter the cost.

Featuring the multi-award-winning music of Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart and a book by Mark Bramble (42nd Street), Barnum returns in a vibrant new production that honours its Broadway roots while bringing fresh theatrical flair to the stage.

Barnum tours the UK and Ireland throughout the first half of 2026. Secure your seat by checking dates and ticket information via Stereoboard.
