The movie The Greatest Showman, set in the 1800s, features a talented cast including Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum and Zac Efron as his business associate, Phillip.

Zendaya, known for her role in Spider-Man, plays Anne Wheeler, a trapeze artist who has a complicated relationship with Phillip. Keala Settle, from Wicked, portrays Lettie Lutz, a woman with a beard.

I’m really excited about the actors in this! We’ve got Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Sam Humphrey, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo all joining the cast. It’s a pretty awesome lineup, honestly.

While inspired by a real person from history, the movie’s story is mostly made up. It uses excellent songs and acting to highlight important moments.

According to one IMDB review, director Michael Gracey created a masterpiece by seamlessly blending outstanding music, choreography, acting, visuals, costumes, and set design – all of it feeling new and inventive.

One listener described the song ‘This is Me’ as amazing, using words like ‘excellent’ and ‘superb,’ and said it gave them goosebumps.

Honestly, as a fan, I was completely blown away by this movie! Everything just worked. The editing was so smooth, it didn’t even feel like editing, and the attention to detail was incredible – seriously, the costumes were amazing. And the special effects? Wow! Plus, the acting was just perfect. I’m really trying to find something to complain about, but I honestly can’t!

The Greatest Showman is available to stream on Netflix in the UK.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can purchase Ariana & Witches at all good newsagents or online for only £8.99.
