Our 40+ backdrop designs for Barnum depicts images of dancers, fire eaters, animals, clowns, tightrope walkers, and many other colorful sights within and outside the big top.

The musical Barnum gives a glimpse of how an entertainment giant is made by following the life, love, and struggles of P.T. Barnum of Barnum and Bailey, just before the founding of the famed circus.

Even before becoming a household name, P.T. Barnum has already made his living by exhibiting curiosities and humans with notable appearances and talents. Charity, his wife, tries to keep him grounded, but Barnum cannot help but hear the call of the stage.

Barnum covers P.T. Barnums life from 1835 through 1880, and is set across the US and in major cities in different countries. The original Broadway production in 1980 ran for 854 performances.
