My friend and I travelled to London to see this show. We found it entertaining and enjoyable with very talented performers on show. There is a very loose story based around the greatest showman with all the songs from the show performed.
Drinks where I feel over priced £3.50 for a bottle of water! Show started at 7.30pm and we where walking out by 9.10pm. We paid about £55 for our tickets and I feel they where slightly overpriced for the type of show and the duration.
Having said all if that, I had a throughly enjoyable night.

Quite good but not value for money.
Not a bad show, some talented performers and the venue outside the actual show is well done, but the overall show had no real storyline, is a very small venue, and is only about an hour of actual performance time. Quite enjoyable and if I'd paid £50 or £60 each I'd have been quite happy but certainly not worth the £140 each we paid and they were middle priced tickets. No point paying more as all seats have the same view as venue so small.

Overpriced
Firstly there is no signage indicating the hippodrome,if you dont know the moore park entertainment quarter its hard to find,there is no clear signage of entry to the actual event.
They say be there 1 hr early for the pre entertainment, dont bother that is a waste of time all they want you to do is spend money on food,drink & merchandise which you will need to take a loan out for & all cashless.
There is some tables to sit while you wait to get into the actual hippodrome but not many so you have to stand & wait.
In the hippodrome Seating is tight with no leg room & you have to get up & walk to the aisle if someone thats sitting toward the middle wants to get out,very poorly designed.
The show itself was disappointing & definitely not worth the money.
Some performers were talented but not outstanding.
It started late & had long interval .
Overall, very disappointing.
The higher priced tickets/ seats were no better than the cheapest.

The show itself was very good but it…
The show itself was very good but it was ruined because of the service. I sat in the last row in a single seat but in front of me was a 2 metre tall man and all I could see was his big head. I asked for a seat pad / cushion, as all theatres provide them, but was told they don’t have it. I sat on the stairs next to the seat and was fine with that because I could see the stage and sat there for most of the show, until a woman/staff came up towards the end saying something I couldn’t hear in quite an aggressive way and showing me to sit in my seat. I told her I couldn’t see anything in my seat but she didn’t care. I wasn’t in anyone’s way, it wasn’t a fire exit as there was a wall behind me - I’m very disappointed, nobody wants to pay to watch somebody’s head for a few hours. My back really hurts now, I almost left the show.

Come Alive London war einfach großartig
Come Alive London war einfach überwältigend. Bereits die komplette Gestaltung vor der Show war atmosphärisch, kreativ und bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht. Die Akrobaten waren atemberaubend, die Sänger herausragend und die gesamte Aufmachung absolut mitreißend.
Ich habe bisher nichts gesehen, das mich emotional so bewegt hat. Die Show war intensiv, überraschend und wunderschön inszeniert. Beim nächsten Londonbesuch würde ich sofort wieder hingehen. Jeden einzelnen Cent wert. Absolute Empfehlung.

“Talented performers let down by chaotic direction and poor choreography”
I must be honest and say that this was one of the most chaotic and poorly put-together shows I have ever seen.
I have mixed emotions because, on one hand, the individual circus acts, the orchestra, and the ensemble singing were absolutely amazing. The performers themselves displayed incredible skill and talent. However, the director and choreographer should hang their heads in shame, as they truly let these performers down. The storyline, choreography, and particularly the transitions between scenes were simply awful.
Adding the clowns, who spent much of the show shouting and screaming, only made matters worse. Their presence felt unnecessary and more irritating than entertaining, contributing nothing of value to the overall performance.
The director and choreographer had the opportunity to create something truly beautiful, but instead, it turned out to be a major disappointment.
Furthermore, the first act was around 40 minutes long, and the second not much longer — which felt far too short and certainly not value for money. The entire experience gave the impression that the main goal was to make money rather than provide high-quality entertainment.
To make matters worse, the prices for food and drink were extortionate — quite frankly, daylight robbery. It’s hard to imagine how an average working family could afford to visit your venue.

Come Alive Musical is Amazing!
What an amazing show!!!
I visited on Sunday 17th August 2025 with my partner and can honestly say it was one of the best shows we have been to. The vocals were extraordinary, the choreography was amazing and the talent out of this world!
We booked the VIP package which included free flowing champagne and our seats were front row centre, which made our visit exceptional!
We shall return soon with the whole family :)

Booked to go on Saturday 26th July…
Booked to go on Saturday 26th July 2025. Arrived at the correct time to be advised the show had been cancelled 10 Minutes before.
Having set off at 7.30am in the Morning to go to a Matinee Show there and back our whole trip to London was wasted. Not to mention the Cost to get there and the time spent.
Today we have been advised they will give us 2 tickets for a later date currently on sale £15.00 cheaper. But they are kindly offering a Free Drink for an apology for what happened !! and no offer of a Refund to cover the difference in the Price between the two shows.
The Free Drink is probably less than the £15.00 so actually there is no apology and in fact an insult to us.
I am currently awaiting a Reply from the Box Office; but it seems a shame a Theatre can treat people this way. Be careful if you choose to go to this show.
