Barnum Reviews

MARVELLOUS MAGICAL SHOW
Just seen a preview show of Barnum at the Menier Chocolate Factory and it was marvellous -one of the best shows that i have seen in years. The show bombs along at a great pace and has a warmth shows in bigger settings and venues cannot replicate. The intimate setting makes you feel privileged to be so near to such a talented cast. Marcus Brigstocke held the show together exceptionally well for someone with limited experience in this field and i surmise that he will only get better and better. I would recommend this show to young and old - it really is a delight of a venue and a great show. We ate at the theatre prior to the show and must say that the food is of a good standard at a good price. £35 per head with wine! Book up, you will not regret it!

BRILLIANT BARNUM!
Second time I’ve seen the show and loved it even more the 2nd time! All the performers are excellent and the Theatre is perfect for the show. Marcus Brigstocke plays a very convincing Barnum and it was great to see him walk the tightrope unaided today (congratulations!) Loved the live band, excellent musicians.You could sit anywhere on the Theatre to get a good view and lovely to be up close to all the performers. A real feel good show that left me and my family and friends singing all the way home! A hidden gem that needs to be seen! Thank you!

After opening in November to some mixed reviews I was slightly dubious about what to expect when entering the Menier Chocolate Factory. One of London's most renowned off-West End theatres, I was full of anticipation to see if the reviews I had read were
