The Greatest Showman stage show is officially in the works

Hold onto your top hats because The Greatest Showman is set to dazzle us once more, this time on the live stage.

Disney has just dropped the big news at D23: the much-loved film starring Hugh Jackman, Zendaya, Zac Efron, and Keala Settle is being transformed into a full-blown stage musical.

The original 2017 film became an instant classic, grossing a staggering $435 million worldwide.

With show-stopping numbers like “The Greatest Show”, “A Million Dreams”, “Rewrite the Stars”, and “From Now On”, it’s no wonder the film captivated audiences across the globe.

And now, fans can look forward to these hits being brought to life in a whole new way.

At the heart of The Greatest Showman’s success is the music, composed by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who also wrote songs for Dear Evan Hansen and Dogfight.

In their announcement today, Disney confirmed: “The stage adaptation of The Greatest Showman, featuring the Academy Award-nominated songs of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, will announce production timetable, creative team, and cast at a later date.”

And don’t confuse this with Come Alive!, a circus show opening this autumn in London that also features songs from the film.
