13 Reasons Why December Is Rich in Movie & TV Picks4 of 13
The Greatest Showman
I love Hugh Jackman, and I love a good musical. When the two come together, it's an absolute delight. For viewers familiar only with Jackman's many performances as Wolverine, the fact that he is a dyed-in-the-wool song-and-dance man may come as a surprise. In The Greatest Showman, Jackman stars as P.T. Barnum, one of the founders of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. More contemporary than classical, the music is supposed to be an indication of just how ahead of his time P.T. Barnum was. Joining Jackman are Michelle Williams, Zendaya, and Zac Efron. This one's definitely on my holiday Watchlist. — Pam
