Tara Talland, Ebony Gumbs, Sam Barnes, and Nathan Briscoe join the pool of circus professionals. Kai Hou (Cirque du Soleil) will take the reins as the Ringmaster. Continuing circus cast for the show includes Dean Murrell, Jimmy Wong, Bella Diosa, Eric McGill, Josephine Urry, Jackie Le, Antino Pansa, Tybald Griesbacher, Roman Karpovich, Sam Nash and Keiron The Mighty. Shona Morgan is also returning to the cast.
Come Alive! welcomes Maia Hawkins, Greg Oliver (The David Bowie Show, The Rock’n’Roll Alien) and Deshawn Gordon. Simon Bailey continues in the role of the Showman, alongside singers Whitney Martins and Giovanni Spano. The cast will be completed by dancers Rachel Gardiner, Ethan Brenchley, and Elliott Brady. They join Emma-Louise Stansall, Maisie Axton, Genie Gledhill, Mia Jayne, Ebby Sama, and Ross Wilkins as the roustabouts.
Conceived and directed by Simon Hammerstein, Come Alive! is performed in a purpose-built 700-capacity Big Top. The show includes performances of all of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul’s hit songs from the 20th Century Fox Motion Picture, including ‘This Is Me’, ‘Rewrite the Stars’, ‘A Million Dreams’, and more.
