Disney production ran in Bristol earlier this year and its stars Oliver Tompsett and Samantha Barks will resume their roles at Theatre Royal Drury Lane
The Greatest Showman, the 2017 Hugh Jackman film with a chart-topping soundtrack, is to be staged in the West End next spring. After a sellout eight-week run at Bristol Hippodrome earlier this year, the Disney musical will arrive at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, currently home to Disneyโs Hercules.
Its Bristol stars, Oliver Tompsett and Samantha Barks, will resume their respective roles as circus entrepreneur PT Barnum and his wife, Charity. Barks previously starred at Drury Lane as Elsa in Disneyโs stage version of Frozen. Also returning from the Bristol production are Ben Joyce (as Barnumโs associate Phillip Carlyle), Vajรจn van den Bosch (as opera singer Jenny Lind, known as the โSwedish nightingaleโ) and Malinda Parris (as the โbearded ladyโ Lettie Lutz).
