Rags to Spectacle

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2018)

(Flash Review)
The ring master P.T. Barnum's life and career are told as only could be: with bold and juicy colors, unique people, animals, music all as a grand spectacle. The story touches on his childhood, early career, rocky start to his entrepreneur vision of curiosities and how he elevated it. Also how he gave peculiar and different people a place to feel accepted and welcome, which was driven home with a heavy hand. We got it the first couple times. The music was enjoyable and blended into the story smoothly. Not sure how factual it was but it was fun and full of eye candy.
