It sucked me in!

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2018)

Ok, in our family, my wife is the musical theater fan and while I love music, I hate watching actors sing through everything that happens. We make plans to go see TGS, and just before getting there I'm told it's a musical...my wife says, I shouldn't have told you, and I'm thinking, oh greaaaat...how soon will it be over??
This thing starts and I'm sucked into this PT Barnum dreamland. The music is super catchy. Yes, about only 2 or 3 things depicted here actually happened 170 years ago, who cares?!?!?! By the time I hear the Jenny Lind/Loren Allred song, I'm blown away. So much talent on display, and you can feel the energy that went into making this whole thing happen.
End result? Couldn't get the songs out of my head! Had to go again! Last time I saw a movie twice in the theater was probably in the 80's...Wife thought it was OK, not great, and now no more TGS is allowed when she's around because I played it to death. Don't go looking for some historically accurate portrayal of PT Barnum or any of that here. Go to simply be entertained.
