Breaking Baz: World Premiere Of ‘The Greatest Showman’ Stage Musical With Five New Songs Will Open In UK In 2026 Ahead Of Disney Theatrical Taking To West End & Broadway
‘The Greatest Showman’ stage musical is heading to the UK Bristol Hippodrome then Drury Lane before Broadway with five new songs
Full of exotic beasts, bearded ladies, strapping giant strong men and dare-devil acrobats, along with the likes of Zendaya, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Zac Efron, the 20th Century film grossed $459M worldwide. Songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who won a Golden Globe and a Grammy and received an Oscar-nomination for the 2017 film’s pop classic“This Is Me”, have written an additional five new songs to augment the hits they penned for the picture directed by Michael Gracey. Julie Taymor took the ingredients from the first animated movie, plus the songs by Elton John and Tim Rice and turned it into a theatrical work of art, and from everything I’m hearing my sense is that’s what Nicholaw, Federle, Pasack, Paul and orchestrator Alex Lacamoire and the Disney musical brass are undertaking here.
