Fresh from a wildly successful, extended season in London, the blockbuster sensation ‘COME ALIVE! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular’ is set to make its Australian debut in 2026. The spectacular show will launch under the Big Top at the Entertainment Quarter in Sydney on May 26, 2026, before embarking on a national tour.
Presented by Showpath Entertainment, 'COME ALIVE!' is a must-see live experience that fuses world-class circus artistry with show-stopping musical performance. The production, which will feature an all-Australian cast, promises jaw-dropping acrobatics, gravity-defying aerial acts, and a powerful reimagining of the beloved soundtrack.
Inspired by the 20th Century Fox Motion Picture, the show features iconic hits by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, including “This Is Me,” “Rewrite the Stars,” and “A Million Dreams.” Audiences will experience these anthems live, loud, and up close like never before.
Conceived and directed by Drama Desk award-winning Creative Director Simon Hammerstein, the production aims to transport audiences into a "circus dream." Hammerstein stated, "The uniqueness of our show allows us to blend multiple entertainment forms into one singular event, bursting with joy and reimagining this extraordinary music to tell a new, modern story of what it takes to follow your dreams."
The Australian season marks the production's continued global expansion, making it the first international market to host the original London production. Following its Sydney launch, the show will tour to Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Melbourne through early 2027.
David Hutchinson, CEO of The Path Entertainment Group, said the show delivers on "spectacle, heart, and pure joy," and is a "world-class reimagining of a story that celebrates individuality and belonging."
