When I first saw the previews for the movie The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman as circus scion P.T. Barnum, I wasn’t overwhelmed with a desire to see it. I thought, “maybe.”
Lucky for me, (and for them, LOL), the publicity team for The Greatest Showman used Facebook to spread the word about their movie VERY, very effectively. After watching behind-the-scenes inspiring videos like this one and this one that showed how truly moving the songs in this musical are, I was determined to see it. Plus, lots and lots of parents started posting that this was a family-friendly movie, too. Whoop whoop! Could it REALLY live up to its PG rating?? All the reviews I read via Commons Sense Media and Plugged In were positive, but I was determined to find out for myself.
