About Barnumtour
THIS EXHILARATING MUSICAL follows the irrepressible imagination and dreams of Phineas T Barnum, America’s Greatest Showman. The story of his life and his marriage to Chairy reveals a couple who looked at the world from opposite sides of the spectrum, and also reveals that she was the practical one who made his dreams come true. We follow the legendary showman’s life as he lit up the world with colour, warmth and the excitement of his imagination and finally teamed up with J A Bailey to create Barnum and Bailey’s Circus – the Greatest Show on Earth.
Starring Brian Conley (Oliver! , Hairspray, Jolson) and Linzi Hateley (Mary Poppins, Mamma Mia! , Chicago, Les Misérables), Cy Coleman’s wonderfully exuberant score includes the hits; Come Follow The Band, The Colours Of My Life and There Is A Sucker Born Ev’ry Minute.

Barnum’s the name, P.T. Barnum, and I want to tell you that tonight, on this stage, *for the very last time* you are going to see - bar none - every sight, wonder, and humbug that name stands for!
This is it folks. The very last two performances of BarnumTour! We can't thank you enough.
Admit it, who watched #BarnumTour and was overcome by the desire to run away with the circus!?
Just 5 performances left at the Wales Millennium Centre. We feel like we're being humbug'd... where has the time gone!? po.st/BarnumTour
