Barnum (1810-1891) that followed the famed promoter from his first show in 1835 to his 1881 merging of his circus with that of James Anthony Bailey to form the Barnum and Bailey Circus, became a long-running success on Broadway upon its opening on April 30, 1980, largely due to the talents of its star, 44-year-old British actor/singer Jim Dale, who embodied the title role with all the extroverted charm required and won a Tony award for his trouble. Composer Cy Coleman and lyricist Michael Stewart's score contained 'There Is a Sucker Born Ev'ry Minute' (Barnum's catch phrase), the lyrical ballad 'The Colors of My Life,' the lively 'Come Follow the Band,' and 'Join the Circus,' which Barnum and Bailey later featured as a theme song.
