P.T. Barnum, the Greatest Showman on Earth, combines razzle-dazzle with charm and brass to sell “humbug” to cheering crowds. A joyful and moving musical portrait of the 19th century’s greatest show-biz legend, Barnum is a colorful, dynamic spectacle with heart. Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart’s rousing score includes “There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute,” “Join the Circus,” “The Colors of My Life” and “Come Follow The Band.”
BARNUM debuted on Broadway in 1980 and featured notable songs like "The Colors of My Life" and "Come Follow the Band." Jim Dale played Barnum, earning a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. The West End production opened in 1981 with Michael Crawford in the lead role (earning an Olivier), further cementing the show's popularity. The West End production is available on video.
