Well done, Mr. Barnum

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2018)

This is a musical. A contemporary musical. The creative team did not set out to pay homage to the oldies - and still unbeatable, to my mind - of a bye-gone era. Being of its time is what saves the entire production. The sets are interesting. The characters are all personable. The story line is of itself a story for all times. The dancing is exciting. The singing is great. Toe-tapping good. Moving with the beat. An altogether enjoyable time at the movies.
