Trailer of The Greatest Showman (2017).

The Greatest Showman is a 2017 American biographical musical drama film directed by Michael Gracey in his directorial debut, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon and starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron , Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, and Keala Settle. Featuring nine original songs from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the film is based on the story and life of P.T. Barnum, a famous showman and entertainer, and his creation of the Barnum & Bailey Circus and the lives of its star attractions. The Greatest Showman, like the circus it depicts, is a musical for the masses, an amusing, if slightly sloppy, production that is far from high art but properly conveys an underdog narrative for the working class. The Greatest Showman is worth the matinée price since it stars a gorgeous cast and has an intriguing though repetitive soundtrack..
