Absolutely obsessed with the soundtrack. Though I do skip over Never Enough more often than I listen to it. I love blasting out the rest of the soundtrack - keep finding new parts to love in each song. Such an empowering soundtrack.

I also love the workshop versions of This Is Me and From Now On - so moving and powerful!

HanarCantWearSweaters · 29/01/2018 19:06

I’ve watched the workshop version of this is me multiple times a day since I found it the other week. It’s really resonating with me atm in life. So many goddamn tears watching it. The look on Hugh’s face, the hype guy, how she goes from trembling behind that music stand to kicking arse by the end. God I love it. Magnificent.

TricksyLiesmith · 29/01/2018 19:09

Me too . Obsessed with the sound track . We are going to sing-a-long version at Cineworld . I will be belting it out !

Appuskidu · 29/01/2018 19:10

LOVE it! My favourite is the The other side song. Nothing to do with Zac EfronGrin

RunningOutOfCharge · 29/01/2018 19:12

I find most films such a disappointment

But this!!! Amazing!

I've seen it twice. Have added some of the tracks to my running list, they certainly put an added spring in my step!

@TheGhostsOfPresidentsYetToCome THANK YOU!

I’m now sniffling, grinning even more in adore with Hugh Jackman.

This film and it’s soundtrack is just utterly breathtaking Star Star Star Star Star

Me and dd adore this soundtrack, film. Everything about it was beautiful. It made me so emotional 😍

KERALA1 · 29/01/2018 19:15

Also obsessed. As is my friend we are worse than our 12 year old dds. I play the sound track on a loop. I veer between never enough and this is me being my favourite. Dh on a massive bike ride yesterday and spent the whole ride with never enough on his brain. Or "that bloody song" as he called it.

Smartiepants79 · 29/01/2018 19:16

Love it! Very emotive and catchy. Enjoying hearing bits of it on Radio 2!

GlitterNails · 29/01/2018 19:19

I have it on all the time. I love Tightrope and it’s the one stuck in my head even though it’s one of the quieter numbers.

shakeyourcaboose · 29/01/2018 19:22

Ooo love love this film!!!! Never enough!! Never enough!!!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 29/01/2018 19:24

It's been playing on a loop here since we saw the film day after boxing day. DH bought me the CD for my birthday (mid jan) and it uploaded automatically to his mp3 player. Even he admits that it's "quite good for a musical" high praise indeed Grin

Youngmystery · 29/01/2018 19:28

I love it, need to buy it. Think it's the first musical I've seen where I loved all of the songs. Usually there's a couple I'm not that keen on.

KERALA1 · 29/01/2018 19:29

Loved la la land but a lot of fillers on that album we were skipping on a lot greatest showman all the songs are good

KERALA1 · 29/01/2018 19:31

Also brilliant to warble along to "never never" as long as no one else over the age of 12 in the house

MrsLinManuelMiranda · 29/01/2018 19:33

You are being totally reasonable.I am ashamed of myself at the moment. I have been obsessed with OBC recording of Hamilton for over a year and have been playing it on a loop in the car . Went to see The Greatest Showman on Saturday night, bought the soundtrack yesterday and have now replaced Hamilton with this in car. Love it. Oh but I did buy second lot of tickets for Hamilton when they realised a new batch today so I do not feel too guilty!!!

It's amazing. I love musicals but this was something else! 😍😍

SunnySkiesSleepsintheMorning · 29/01/2018 19:42

I may or may not listen to it on repeat; on the way to work, on the way from work, in the shower and just whenever I can. It’s the greatest (show!).

cannotfindanickname · 29/01/2018 19:48

No. I love it too and so does my teenage daughter

weechops · 29/01/2018 19:51

Oh I love it so much! I’m completely obsessed too, it’s never off. I took dd1 to see it last week and the second we came out the cinema I downloaded the album. It’s just a fabulous film and I’ve been raving about it to everyone.

ineedaholidaynow · 29/01/2018 19:52

Love it too Smile

Have had a recent family bereavement and went to see it to cheer me up and dragged DH and DS along too. Was brilliant and made me smile.

Keep singing the songs and can't wait for the DVD.

JennyOnAPlate · 29/01/2018 20:14

Yes!!! I love it so much!

Mischa123 · 29/01/2018 20:57

I have been singing from now on all day! We went to see it for the second time this weekend!

kokosnuss · 29/01/2018 21:30

TheGhosts thanks for the workshop links, as soon as DH is out of earshot (he's allergic to musicals) I'm so on it!

Tricksky I'm also going to the Cineworld singalong, can't wait Grin

Out of interest, Hamilton lovers on here, without spoiling, what's it like? I hear a lot of love for it but I know at least some of it is rap and I've never really 'got' rap... can't imagine a rap number wowing me like some of my all time fave musical numbers, but if so many people love it, it must be something special?
