		While Barnum admittedly created spectacles because of their money-making potential, he nonetheless provided the possibility for the individual to become a spectacle both as one of his "freaks" in his exhibits or as a museum patron visiting the most popular house of spectacle in town.
		Although Barnum should be remembered for his American Museum and his involvement with the circus, his contribution to American marketing and advertising methods forever changed the way in which information is presented to the public.
		Barnum's advertising savvy and his ornate American Museum worked in tandem to generate public interest precisely during a time when Americans life itself was being inundated with spectacle.

		American legend P.T. Barnum is better known for saying “There’s a sucker born every minute.” A charmingly appropriate legacy, that, since it wasn’t he who said it.
		Barnum was, after all, a man whose career in show business got started with him purchasing and then exhibiting a woman named Joice Heth, who claimed to be the 161-year-old childhood nurse of George Washington.
		“Now,” said Barnum, “go and lay a brick on the sidewalk at the corner of Broadway and Ann Street; another close by the Museum; a third diagonally across the way… put down the fourth on the sidewalk in front of St.

		The man that gave us that legend was born in Bethel, Conecticut, in 1810 and the show "Barnum" traces his career from 1835 to 1881 when he joined James A. Bailey to form the circus which was justly called "The Greatest Show On Earth".
		Barnum introduces himself as the defender of "the noble art of humbug" (There Is A Sucker Born Ev'ry Minute).
		The Barnums are a little older, a little more succesful, but their differences of opinion are the same and so is their deep-rooted affection for each other (I Like Your Style).

	Legends & Lore: Merle Evans
		During the 19th century, when Mendelssohn and Schumann and Franz Liszt cracked the ice off music and gave it warmth and color and emotion in what is referred to now as the romantic period, and then when Wagner came along and made it louder and more emotional, the pattern was set for Circus music.
		The music of the big show is the loom upon which the thrill-studded tapestry of the performance is threaded.
		And also, there, riding the bright crest of the music, is the courage and tenacity of the troupers and the warmth engendered in the hearts of clowns who work to the added obbligato of children’s laughter.

		Naturally, Coleman used circus music as his main inspiration, and Stewart imbued his lyrics with Barnum's sense of engaging balderdash.
		Barnum discoveries Joice Heth (Terri White), Tom Thumb (Leonard Crofoot), and Jenny Lind (Marianne Tatum) got their own songs, and there was a ringmaster (William C. Witter), who treated Barnum's life as though it was a series of circus acts.

	'Barnum' Dazzles in High-Energy Revival
		While not the best Cy Coleman musical, "Barnum" is still a razzle-dazzle evening with a lot of flash and humbug.
		When first we see flimflam artist Barnum (the multitalented James J. Mellon), he is hustling tickets to see Joice Heth (the talented Regina Le Vert), a "160-year-old fl slave who was the so-called nurse of George Washington." She sings the raucous "Thank God I'm Old." The stage is set for Barnum, king of humbug.
		Only wife Charity "Chairy" Barnum (the lyrical and lovely Yvette Lawrence) is skeptical about the flamboyant P.T. She's a straight-shooting Connecticut Yankee, a schoolteacher who sees things in fl and white and not in magical colors.
