Ever since I was little I detested musicals, I was very naive when I was little, never enjoyed a musical until last year January or February to be precise, La La Land came out and after that I started appreciating musicals a bit more, I started watching musicals a bit more and I have to say musicals are one of my favourite genres now, I love how these films can take you from a world of fear and depressing issues to a much more happier and toe tappingly awesome time, The Greatest Showman does exactly that, while the story might not be historically accurate it’s still a great movie with a powerhouse of a soundtrack.

The Greatest Showman stars Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and Michelle Willliams, Jackman stars as circus creator and founder P.T Barnum and how he created one of the most visited attractions that’s still around and enjoyed by millions of people worldwide we open with the first song The Greatest Show as we see P.T Barnum’s circus in full force, we then cut back to when Barnum was young he meets Charity and the two sing another amazing song A Million Dreams…. confession time I actually know all the words to some of these songs and I was lip synching every song in the cinema anyway Charity is sent to finishing school.

Now an older P.T Barnum travels back to Charity’s house and the two get married and have two girls, he is then fired from his job after the banks merchant ships all sink in the South China Sea after a typhoon, he goes home and tells Charity this is where he gets the idea to form a circus.

The rest of the film is Barnum recruiting certain acts for the circus, meeting a famous opera singer Jenny Lind ignoring his circus and his acts he decides to go on tour with her and after an absolute belter of a song Never Enough which I might add is a fantastic song altogether…. no wait all the songs are amazing, the choreography is fantastic as is the visuals, The Greatest Showman is possibly the greatest musicals I have ever seen on the big screen I give The Greatest Showman a show stopping toe tapping 10/10 it’s fun, it’s catchy it’s a good film all round but anyway guys until next time catch ya later 🙂
