"I have always been a great fan of Brad Oscar—both as a person and a performer. He was the first person that came to mind in casting the role of P.T. Barnum. We are so fortunate to be able to explore the show anew with such a profoundly talented actor. In many ways, Brad embodies the spirit of Barnum, a born showman with a rich imagination and a keen sense of the public's taste," said Greenberg in a statement.

Joining Oscar onstage will be Misty Cotton as Charity Barnum, Kevin Kraft as Ringmaster, Debra Walton as Joice Heth, Nathaniel Braga as Tom Thumb, Renee Brna as Jenny Lind, Matt Baker as Dream Barnum, Jessica Green as Dream Charity, Amy Shure as Dream Jenny and Debra Walton as Blues Singer.

Barnum features music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart and a book by Mark Bramble.
