Brian Conley is to be PT Barnum in hit musical Barnum at The Lowry in Salford from August 4-8.

Conley most recently scored success as Fagin in the national tour of Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Oliver!. Award-winning actress Linzi Hateley plays the role of Barnum’s wife Chairy. This production is by Chichester Festival Theatre and Cameron Mackintosh.

The musical follows the irrepressible imagination and dreams of America’s Greatest Showman. The story of his life and his marriage to Chairy reveals a couple who looked at the world from opposite sides of the spectrum, and also reveals that she was the practical one who made Barnum’s dreams come true.
