"The Greatest Showman" (movie critique)

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

Dear Readers, The Travelling Toe has been away from the computer keyboard due to a bout with bronchitis that has lingered on for a bit. However before the plague hit, The Travelling Toe and the Movie Mavens did manage to squeeze in a few movies.  One of the movies we saw was "The Greatest Showman".

Have you seen it?  If not, do go and see it. This movie is just pure entertainment and fun.  Of course with Hugh Jackman in the lead that just makes it even better. He is such a great actor plus he can sing and dance as well.  Maybe the greatest showman really is Hugh!

One internet source provided this version of the story's plot line:

Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

The movie is still playing here in North Central Texas. They are also showing a sing along version as the music is also popular and a big hit!

Is it the true story of P.T. Barnum?  Maybe some parts are and some not.  But this is just a feel good, enjoy the moment movie.
