The Greatest Showman
So on Tuesday evening laraneia and I went to see The Greatest Showman. She loves musicals, and I'll watch petty much anything with Hugh Jackman. Plus one of the people on my Tumblr had been raving about it since its release in the US. I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, but I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to see a musical with Hugh Jackman on the big-screen.
I'd heard about this movie for a long time, and I knew that it was a passion project for Hugh, he's spent close to 8 years getting this movie made.
I still went in keeping my expectations low, but pretty much from the first lines of the first song I could just feel the love that had been put into this project. It's definitely a spectacle, but in the best way. I just loved it, the music, the acting, the costumes. It was also so obvious to see that the actors were having a good time, especially Hugh, as every smile seemed so genuine, like he was just so happy to finally be making this movie. I love that, I love when you can actually see that this is a movie they really wanted to be a part of. The movie is just magical.
I've been listening to the soundtrack on Spotify almost on a loop, and every time I think this is my favourite song, the next one starts and I change my mind. So yeah, if you like musicals and haven't seen this yet, go see it! Heck, go see it anyway, it's worth the trip to the cinema.
#TheGreatestShowman was magical.
It'd heard it was a passion-project for @RealHughJackman, and it really showed.
I just love it when you can clearly see how much the actor is enjoying themselves.
Will be listening to the soundtrack on a loop for a while. pic.twitter.com/xjiYbWYSR4

I'm not saying that I've been listening to #TheGreatestShowman soundtrack on Spotify all day, but it's not very far from being true.
