Soundtrack=AMAZING Movie itself=Good overall

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2017)

Just go and enjoy it. Don't think too much about it. This movie is "inspired by" the life of P.T. Barnum, it is not based on his life so there are liberties taken to dramatize the movie a bit. There are scene transitions that can easily be transitioned on to stage very easily with a simple sharing of a wall and choreography done. The story is focused on Hugh Jackman's character 90% of the time. 10% is given to Zac Efron and Zendaya. I was a bit skeptical at the previous actor's I mentioned duet but seeing it and hearing it in the movie makes complete sense, plus remember this takes place before the Civil War in America. I enjoyed it and was excited for it but my expectations were a bit too high so the movie didn't exceed them except when it came to the soundtrack which is beautiful no matter what. I really hope this becomes a stage production, its too good and too easy to not be on stage.
