Watch the musical for yourself and enjoy a good time

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2017)

I read the many reviews and backstory comparisons. I must agree that the musical did not exactly portray the history, but then it is not a documentary either, so to all the critics out there who bash this musical because it left out several historical details: grow a pair and enjoy what it is.
As a musical, it was extremely entertaining. The music was on point, and Hugh Jackman wow'ed me again with his talent. I am not a musician and cannot comment more about the music, I can only say I enjoyed it very much and I am confident that you will too.
As a story on P. T. Barnum, it surely "over-sanitized" Barnum as critics say, but anyone who watched the movie would be extremely interested in reading up about it, and in doing so, viewers would not be mislead by the movie. However, that does not mean this is not a good movie. It, in fact, makes this movie even better for telling a good story based on actual events and add in an important moral that is quite important in today's society.
