I absolutely adore musicals! I'm not your typical musical fan (if there is a stereotype) 48 year old bloke ex military.
This is up there with the best, all the songs were catchy, heart felt and fitted into the story. I watched Les Mis movie and felt the songs added didn't fit.
So, the film makers did take a few liberties, Barnum was accompanied by Tom Thumb only when they had an audience with Queen Vic and obviously Zac Efron's character was an almagamation of a few historical people. But.....I couldn't care less, if it was put forward as a historical film then certainly I would be annoyed, but this film is to make you feel good, inspire, joyous and on all levels it did what it set out to do.
Oh and Lettie Lutz ( Keala Settle) can belt out a tune...she is awesome!!
