The Best Musical I've Seen In A While...

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2018)

The Greatest Showman managed to keep me entertained throughout its entirety easily. The music, story line and songs that are used to tell the story of P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman), feel like they serve a great purpose in shaping the story, rather than feeling as if it is forced for the sake of having songs in a musical. Each song feels full of emotion and passion from the acting side. From 'A Million Dreams' being the opening song, showcasing the imagination of Barnum from a young age, to 'The Other Side' which uses the imagination and passion mentioned in 'A Million Dreams' to convince Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) to join Barnum's show. The soundtrack has been constantly playing on my phone as I truly believe that not only is this a movie, or an amazing soundtrack, but it truly is, a great show.
