Exuberant musical take on the key beats of P.T. Barnum's life featuring Jackman, Williams and Ephron. It's rather creative with his life story and the facts at times - but it's all in the name of entertainment (and I feel sure the man himself would have appreciated, even celebrated the changes).There's not much depth here, but themes of inclusion, friendship and family are universal and the wonderfully uplifting soundtrack carries it through the odd problematic moment. So much so, I was surprised it ended when it did.
I even managed to annoy the missus by calling out the various aerial hoop moves!
Verdict: Elation in musical form.
