Released: December 8, 2017
By: Hugh Jackman, Keala Settle, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Ziv Zaifman, Michelle Williams, Austyn Johnson, Cameron Seeley, Daniel Everidge & Loren Allred
The soundtrack to the hit film The Greatest Showman is just as entertaining, if not more entertaining, to listen to as it is to watch.
One of the best parts of the album is that the actors from the films are all strong vocalists on their own being Broadway performers (Hugh Jackman, Keala Settle & Michelle Williams), a musical movie star (Zac Efron) and recording artists (Zendaya & Loren Allred).
Settle – a Tony Award nominee – absolutely shines on the big numbers. Her performance of “This Is Me” is incredibly powerful and heartfelt. You can hear the ache in her voice as she shows her resilience.
The music by Grammy, Oscar and Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul is incredibly catchy and transcends genre bindings.
Final say: One of the best soundtrack albums. ★★★★★
