Barnum

Stage 72
158 West 72nd Street New York

The big top circus was the creation of Phineas Taylor Barnum, a consummate showman who wasn't above creating a tall tale or two to entertain the crowds and make a buck. The musical Barnum delves into the life of this unique personality from inside the center ring of his own circus. You'll thrill to the spectacular circus acts as the play tells Barnum's tale complete with the famous characters he introduced to the world, all set to toe-tapping ballads, dazzling marches and ragtime tunes composed by Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart. Don't miss this fun and magical show about the man who brought us one of the country's most enduring entertainment institutions.
