But I also love the greatest showman. I did have to concentrate on it to full enjoy it though with the lights out and popcorns in hand.

It won’t be for everyone though

I have a 12 year old but he’s liked it from the beginning, one song stuck with him “This is me” and the underlying moral and further story he took from it, work hard for what you want, just because you are different doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be welcomed in society and when everything fails pick yourself up and start again

We’ll have to agree to disagree on Les Miserables, I was probably biased to like it as could hear the songs as it was being made from across the river

The lady on strictly looked very real and sounded very real and I think she was real and she did have a beard.

It is a cheer up movie in our house. If we don’t get time to watch it full, we flip these two you tube videos on of the rehearsals - the emotion and joy that shines from them all enjoying their work says enough

May not do well to examine to closely.

Captures well the desire to belong with self-affirming anthems sticking two fingers at the rest of society by a group of stylishly attractive 'freaks'.

A Fab version has obviously been mooted. Some minor changes. "Rewrite the stars" being done swinging from the Snake man laying with his penis through a board, and a happier ending, with the fire scene cut short when the chorus girls line up to squirt out the flames.

This reminds me of the Micky Flanagan sketch where he's describing the pissed up woman swaying by the stereo belting out "I will survive". The other women are slurring "forget him Maureen! He's a Baaastard!!"
