The circus is coming to town, but not as you know it. In February, when the BBC Earth Experience closed, it left a huge empty building in Earls Court. Eight months later, it’s now The Empress Museum, home to new immersive experience Come Alive, in which the hit songs from The Greatest Showman are woven into a new story amid an extraordinary range of circus acts.
Released in 2017, the film became an unexpected hit, grossing half a billion dollars on a budget of $84 million. But what really stood out were the songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul: who hasn’t heard someone wail This Is Me during a karaoke session several cocktails deep?
