P. T. Barnum

Listen, you can always walk away.

PT Barnum, there's a butt for every seat.

There's another car.

I promise you there's another car.

So let's begin with Lynn.

So we're kicking off with Malvern Theatre and Barnum brings circus spectacular to theatre.

A musical celebrating the life of legendary showman P.T. Barnum is bringing circus acts, acrobatics and show-stopping songs to Malvern.

Barnum, featuring actor Matt Rawle, directed by Jonathan O'Boyle and choreographed by former Strictly dancer Oti Mbuse, includes a cast of more than 20 actors, musicians, acrobats and circus acts.

Barnum first gained popularity in the UK at the London Palladium, where actor Michael Crawford performed a nightly tightrope walk, a feat which Raw would repeat.

The show is on now until Saturday, October 31st.

Also at Malvern Theatres, this runs from the 13th, Friday the 13th, to Saturday the 14th of November.

He was mayor of the city from 1845 to 1851, and again in 1873, dying before the last term was finished.

As far as possible, removed from Havemeyer's humdrum existence was that of Phineas Taylor Barnum, the greatest showman the world has ever seen, the originator of the great traveling circus, the exploiter of Tom Thumb and Jenny Lind, the owner of Jumbo, the most famous elephant that ever lived, whose name has passed into the English language as a synonym for bigness.

Barnum was born at Bethel, Connecticut in eighteen ten.

His father was an innkeeper and died when the boy was fifteen years old, leaving no property.

He tried his hand at storekeeping and failed, ran a newspaper and was imprisoned for libel, and finally reached New York at about the end of his resources and looking around for something to do.

That was in eighteen thirty-four, and by accident, he hit upon his real vocation.

A man by the name of R.W. Lindsay was exhibiting through the country an old Negro woman named Joice Heth, advertising her as being one hundred sixty-one years old, and as having been the nurse of George Washington.

Barnum went to see her and found her an extraordinary looking object.
