Get Creative Family Arts Festival: Barnum

This exhilarating musical follows the irrepressible imagination and dreams of Phineas T Barnum, America's Greatest Showman. 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.

Starset Theatre is well-known in the region for its highly acclaimed youth productions over the last 15 years, including sell-out productions of Les Miserables, Peter Pan, Fame etc. Last year's acclaimed adult production of Avenue Q is now followed by 'Barnum' which features a cast of adults and children drawn from the north-east's most talented amateur performers.

Part of the Get Creative Family Arts Festival, a national festival of arts events designed especially for families.
