Program Notes

The Greatest Showman is a 2017 American musical film directed by Michael Gracey in his directorial debut, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon and starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. The film is inspired by the story of P. T. Barnum's creation of the Barnum & Bailey Circus (1871–2017) and the lives of its star attractions.

Audiences loved this film, and the music was a huge part of its enormous appeal. From the powerful soundtrack, here is a dramatic and exciting medley for the concert stage. Included are The Greatest Show; Never Enough; A Million Dreams; This Is Me and From Now On.
