Why You Should Go See The Greatest Showman

My daughter has always loved to sing and dance. I raised her to be a fan of a musicals.



It was no surprise when she asked if we were going to see The Greatest Showman. It's about PT Barnum and his dream of starting a circus.

"But of course!" I said.

We went with my mother, and were enthralled.

Here's why you need to see it.





1. The music is fabulous. I've already downloaded the soundtrack. My daughter has started to learn the lyrics and she made up a dance for the beginning of the song The Greatest Showman:






2. The storyline is wonderful. It's a rags to riches story, and I have to say, I'm always a sucker for those. Plus it's sweet. This poor boy loves a rich girl and she loves him back even though she knows she'll most likely go from having everything, to nothing. But she had faith in him and didn't care. And then the boy gets rich, and he has to remember what's important...



3. The choreography is impressive. Seriously, the dance numbers are captivating. There is so much talent in the movie. Zendaya as a trapeze artist was fabulous, and everyone knows Zac Efron can dance.




4. The actors are all spectacular. I mean, everyone knows about Hugh Jackman. But there's also Michelle Williams. You know, Jen from Dawson's Creek?


She can SING. I didn't realize that. Plus there's Zac Efron, and the Bearded Lady, played by Keala Settle, whose voice is gorgeous.


5. Yeah, Yeah, PT Barnum wasn't that great of a guy. But if he bothers you, pretend it's some other guy with a dream.






Here's the preview for The Greatest Showman:





If you have kids who love musicals, bring them. If you love musicals and don't have kids, go on your own!





My daughter enjoyed the movie so much that she wanted to dress up like PT Barnum. She found some stuff in her closet and started to do moves in the backyard.


Have you seen The Greatest Showman yet?

  1. I saw the trailer and already wanted to watch it, thank you for corroborating it. And I wanted to say that I took your advice and watched Atypical and I loved it. I also thought that Sam was the most "normal" person compared to the other characters.

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to season 2 :) And I agree, Sam was pretty "normal" compared to what some of the other characters were doing.

  5. I haven't seen it but saw the trailer and really want to go watch the movie. I took my son to see the circus last year when it was here in Tampa before it closed permanently. So glad I did! I know it's right for it to close, but it's also the end of a bygone era, and I'm glad my son saw a little of it before it was gone.

  6. Natalie should seriously go into acting she definitely has the personality for it and just may be surprisingly good at it. I like the fact that Natalie is still very imaginative and creative along with the childlike innocence which is a part of childhood.This is good to have because most kids these days so lack imagination and creativity thanks to computers etc. I am very impressed how Natalie had put her outfit together. Ya got yourself quite a little actress and fashion designer in the making.which surprised me she didn't get a speaking part in that school play she tried out for a couple months back.

  7. I have to admit that I have a hard time ignoring the realities of PT Barnum's story... I studied this period of performance history in theatre school and it's pretty problematic for me... That being said, I do usually love a good musical!

  30. A masterpiece of cinema, "The Greatest Showman" masterfully combines great acting, gripping narrative, and spectacular musical sequences. P.T. Barnum is brilliantly portrayed by Hugh Jackman, who gives the character depth and personality. The movie's soundtrack, which includes songs with catchy choruses like "This Is Me" and "A Million Dreams," is an outstanding achievement that spectators will be singing along to long after the credits have finished. The film transports viewers to a realm of wonder and imagination because it is both visually spectacular and emotionally resonant. "The Greatest Showman" is a must-see regardless of whether you enjoy musicals or are just looking for a touching and gorgeous movie experience.
