A new production of the classic musical Barnum, starring Brian Conley as legendary showman P T Barnum, is coming to the Palace Theatre, Manchester.
Cameron Mackintosh and Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of Barnum will also star Linzi Hateley as Chairy.
The production first opened at Chichester in July 2013 playing to almost 70,000 people—and is now on its first national tour.
The production follows the legendary showman’s life as he teamed up with J A Bailey to create Barnum and Bailey’s Circus—the Greatest Show on Earth.
Cy Coleman’s score includes the hits "Come Follow The Band", "The Colours Of My Life" and "There Is A Sucker Born Ev’ry Minute".
Conley most recently scored success as Fagin in the national tour of Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Oliver!.
