P.T. Barnum was known as “The Greatest Showman on Earth,” and now a new movie starring Hugh Jackman tells us the story of how Barnum became an American legend.
The musical, directed by Michael Gracey, takes us from Barnum’s poverty-stricken early days to his first circus in New York. After being laid off, Barnum is inspired to gather a cast of characters to create an ambitious circus spectacular. “No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else,” he says.
