Hello my Darlings. I am back I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! today we will be talking about The Greatest Showman on Earth!
So yes this is a Musical. but a fabulous one at that. this was such a great show. like if you get a chance grab your musical loving friends and go see it! This show gets my highest praise since at times I felt like this was a live stage show I was watching! It also helped that I bought the soundtrack a couple weeks ago and have been playing it like non stop!
So Warning SPOILERS are ahead! But is int it awesome that this new musical won Best Original Song at the 2018 Golden Globes for the song "This Is Me!" I am so proud of this movie for its win! and its two other nominations! now this film really is a great film! It is meant to be seen in the Theater with other people!or just plainly with other people! but It is fun journey from start to finish! So this film stars Hugh Jackman as the title character P.T Barnum, Ellis Rubin as the actor of young Barnum and Ziv Zaifman as the singing voice for young Barnum, Zak Efron as Phillip Carlyle, Michelle Williams as Charity Barnum, Zendaya as the acrobatist Anne Wheeler, and Keala Settle the Bearded lady aka Lettie Lutz!
So this film takes the Story of P.T Barnum and his creation of the famous Barnum circus which acutally had stopped performing 7 months prior to the beggining of filming! the whole cast were fabulous in all their roles! the movie has a very broadway feel to it from the get go which I love! I am quite sure I annoyed the kid sitting in front of us but wu-hey he didnt understand this theater and musically inclined author of yours! But i am sorry!
Ok so this movie Starts with the begging bit of a dream number "the Greatest Show" number of young Barnum and this Is such a great number to start this beautifull story off with! It had me toe tapping and stomping to the beat! and the costumes were just WOW!
To be Honest I did not have many issues as I enjoyed the whole film and I cant wait to add it to my collection! and dance thru the amazing soundtrack! just this film is awesome! go see it!
