We've just been to the cinema to see this today, i wasn't keen but dd's aged 12 and 6 were really wanting to see it - we all really enjoyed it, the songs are very catchy (dd has also played them repeatedly on you tube since getting home)

Saw it today too - it was a hokey load of old bollocks but I loved it!! Grin

Been twice now. I love it! I was a bit Hmm because its Barnum who in real life was a despicable human being, but the songs are so singable.

DD age 9 wants to see it, we’ve been watching the songs on you tube and now I really want to see it!!

I went a few weeks ago - dragged along by dd10.

Hokey load of old bollox is absolutely right but I loved it too!

would be a fab show!

We went this week too. Loved it. Kids are all competing to learn all the songs now. Very catchy tunes but not sure i'll want to listen to them all holidays. Definitely one for big screen viewing. Musical sounds good too.

Bloody loved it. My dd and ds did too. I'm obsessed with the soundtrack and am going to a local open air viewing in a few months.

Michael Crawford was Barnum in the West End in the 80s.
