b"The Greatest Showman was a 2017 musical drama film directed by visual effects artist Michael Gracey in his directing debut. It followed a dramatic re-interpretation of the life of American showman P.T. Barnum, touching upon the creation of his American Museum, and eventually his famous circus. It featured performances by Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Zendaya, and many others in a film that was roundly dismissed by critics for taking too many historical liberties, but was a major box office success.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott deliver exactly what's due to this stirring musical tribute to a man who owned human zoos. Joined by Dwight Stearns of the No Refunds podcast, the trio dive into The Greatest Showman and go on a journey filled with bright colors, CGI animals, and Imagine Dragons-like show numbers.
