Barnum
Hylton Performing Arts Center (Gregory Family Theater), 10960 George Mason Circle, Manassas, VA
A Tony Award-winning musical, Barnum is a colorful, dynamic spectacle with heart. The story of P.T. Barnum combines razzle-dazzle with charm and brass to sell “humbug” to cheering crowds. Prince William Little Theatre performs this joyful and moving musical portrait of the nineteenth century’s greatest show-biz legend.

Come out this Friday for Tacos & Tunes at the Market at Grelen! Inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the rich musical traditions tied to them, Tara Mills describes her music as ” original mountain Americana”: a blend of folk, bluegrass, and Americana. Based out of Charlottesville, VA, her current project finds her combining her lyrics and voice with Jimmy Stelling’s (The Hackensaw Boys) banjo accompaniment to create a very powerful yet driving original sound. They have played at many music festivals including DelFest, The Festy Experience, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, and Red Wing Roots Music Festival among others.
No pre-orders or reservations required. Full season schedule can be found here.
