Best movie i have seen in years!

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2018)

I will start by saying that the opening scene just draws you in and immediately demands silence from a theater full of people. masterfully done. Best intro to a movie since The Lion King. The whole movie is so fun and entertaining, even the children in the theater were so enthralled they were completely quiet thru the whole film. I've heard people complain that its not accurate to the reality of Barnum and that he was apparently not a great person in real life etc, but I never expect a "based on a true story" to actually be true. so take it as its own story and you will have an amazing time. Everyone is just so passionate in this, from the acting to the sets, costumes and music the whole thing makes you feel the passion that these talented and amazing people have for this story. It is worth mentioning that after I saw it, I immediately went back to the box office and bought a ticket for the next show, then the next day I was able to get half price tickets so I saw it twice more, and to be honest, 2 weeks later I am debating on going again after i finish writing this.
