Barnum the Musical
Dromana College’s production of ‘Barnum’ featuring the biggest musical cast the college has ever seen, was the Greatest Show on Earth!
The world of Phineas Taylor Barnum was full of spectacle and humbug. P.T. Barnum works with his wife Charity sometimes with her support, and sometimes against her objections, to create unbelievable attractions in a variety of ways, from the American Museum in New York City to a national tour featuring Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale. Along the way, Barnum meets Joice Heth (the oldest woman alive) and Tom Thumb (the smallest man in the world). He dabbles in politics and begins a lecture tour, culminating in his founding of the Greatest Show on Earth with partner James Bailey.
Showcasing the best of Dromana College’s performing and visual arts students, Barnum was an exciting and joyful ride of humbug and laughter performed at the Frankston Arts Centre and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Congratulations to all the students and staff invovled with Barnum, for an outstanding production.
