The Greatest Showman is finally being turned into a stage show in 2026 with UK premiere planned
The Greatest Showman is officially being turned into a stage show, nearly 10 years since the movie musical was first released.
The 2017 film starring Hugh Jackman is coming to the UK for its theatre world premiere in 2026, with exact dates and casting yet to be announced.
We do know the musical will be held at the Bristol Hippodrome in spring, before later heading on to the West End and, potentially, Broadway.
The show’s score has been written by Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and will be featuring five new songs which were not in the original film.
According to Deadline, these new tracks include All The Ones You Love and Show Goes On.
Also signed on the production team are Tim Federle, who will be writing the book and Casey Nicholaw for direction and choreography.
The Greatest Showman is a fictionalised version of the life of PT Barnum, who created the Barnum & Bailey Circus. It explores Barnum’s fight for success with the help of a cast of acrobats, elephants and performers.
The movie was a hit following release in 2017 and featured performances from the likes of Zendaya, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Zac Efron. It grossed $459M worldwide and became best known for its soundtrack, including the award-winning song This is Me.
