Roll up, roll up! Barnum is making a grand entrance at Hull New Theatre from 2-6 June!

Keep reading to find out how you can win a pair of tickets to the final performance on Saturday 6th June at 7:30pm!

Step right up and enter the dazzling world of P.T. Barnum, where imagination and ambition know no bounds. Hand in hand with wife Charity, Barnum's life and career twists and turns as he schemes and dreams his way to headier heights.

West End favourite and TV star Lee Mead will take centre stage as the legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum. Lee shot to stardom with his breakout win on Any Dream Will Do and acclaimed performances in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wicked, and Legally Blonde.

This spectacular production directed by Jonathan O'Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse will feature an extraordinary ensemble cast of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and amazing circus acts. Audiences are certain to delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for!

Barnum first took the UK by storm when it played the London Palladium, with Michael Crawford making theatrical history with a death-defying nightly tightrope walk across the stage. And now, Lee Mead steps into Barnum's shoes and on to the tightrope!

Come follow the band with the glorious music of multi-award-winner Cy Coleman, Michael Stewart's lyrics and Mark Bramble's book. Barnum features a whole host of classic show tunes including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.

Disclaimer - This show includes smoke, haze, gunshots, fire, loud noises, flashing lights, moments of darkness, balloons and clowns, and contains depictions of racism, slavery and the exploitation of human and animal performers in the nineteenth century entertainment industry.

Enter below before Friday at midday for the chance to win!

Sean Goldsmith will call the winner during the Drivetime show on Friday 5th June - so make sure you listen out for the call!
