Sing-along at TIFF is back! Get ready for a firework of a movie that quite literally explodes with glitter and color.
In this star-studded musical, we get to know showbiz hustler P. T. Barnum, a master of marketing, and his circus of extraordinary artists and curiosities. Barnum was one of the big players of the "freak show" genre in the mid-1800s and was never shy to embellish the truth to entice people to buy tickets. At the same time, he longs for a place in society's upper echelons, which has disastrous consequences.
We get to see Hugh Jackman in great form in the lead role, accompanied by stars like Zendaya, Zac Efron, and YOU. This is a sing-along, so you are welcome to sing along to all the spectacular musical numbers along with the rest of the audience. This will be a festive evening, so bring along friends, colleagues, and family!
