I’m not the biggest fan of movie musicals - it’s not that I hate them, it’s just that I can take or leave most. I saw The Greatest Showman, and it didn’t change my mind. Live musical performances, though, I absolutely love. Here’s Keala Settle singing the song, “This is Me.” This is, I believe where they’re trying to get the movie greenlit. I started at the song, but there’s some interesting talk about it if you restart from the beginning. Stick with it for a minute or so if it’s not grabbing you.
