'THE GREATEST SHOWMAN' 

ON EARTH IS HUGH JACKMAN!

In less than a month P. T. Barnum's circus is coming to your town! What do you mean you don't know who he is? He's THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

This was one of Jackman's biggest dream projects

on Earth! Hugh Jackman's musical drama is arriving to theatres in North America on Christmas, December 25th and then in Europe and Asia from the rest of the month and well into January. Beside Hugh Jackman who plays the inventor of modern circus entertainment, the cast also includes Michelle Williams, Zac Efron and Rebecca Ferguson in the exciting movie directed by Michael Gracey who previously worked on visual effects in films. Before he was hired to helm the movie, it was supposed to be a straight biopic, but he suggested dance and music numbers to be put in it

Rebecca Ferguson never sung on film before

turning it into a musical. The film took seven years in production because it is one of the first original musicals in many years and the studio deemed it too risky. Most other musical films included popular songs as well.

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

Ferguson in what was originally Anne Hathaways's role

circus continued its work for more than a century with the last show held this May in USA. He gave work and opportunity to people who were often considered 'freaks' by the society and would have probably ended up as outcasts but P. T. Barnum gave them fame, money and a chance to travel the world and became famous. It is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life.
