Barnum Cancelled

Phineus T Barnum is quite possibly the World’s Greatest Showman and Peterbrook Players’ 2020 production of this classic musical promises to be their most adventurous and spectacular to date.

Barnum is in the circus business despite his wife's wishes, working with talents such as the oldest woman alive, Joice Heth, the tiny Tom Thumb and the famous Swedish opera singer, Jenny Lind, with whom he almost falls in love. In the end, he returns to his wife and joins with another circus owner, James Anthony Bailey, to form the Barnum and Bailey circus.
