I subscribe to your channel because I want to see your reaction to a movie that I have seen. I am not here for the movie because I can watch it all by myself. I am here, subscribed to your channel to watch you and it made me happy. Keep it going buddy. 👍 my favorite song is This Is Me
I love the interview where Zendaya got there the day of and was having second thoughts because no net and higher than she thought. Then Hugh came over and goes “You are so badass I could never do this” and Zendaya was like “TAKE ME UP 👆🏻”
NOBODY that reacts to this movie gets that the house he buys for her is the house they played in as children. Why is that so hard? He bought it and had it restored.
Zendaya did her own stunts for this :) She said in an interview that she was terrified until Hugh Jackman told her she was a badass, then she was all "I got this!"
Sorry for your loss. I just lost my spouse of 24 years who throughout life sang, played piano, performed, wrote musicals, started a theater company, began after school music programs in underserved public schools, etc. I watch you because I see in you every passionate young student, actor, singer and musician that I met throughout our lives together. Keep that passion you have. People see it.
32:15 While she was in the wrong for the kiss and even willing to be a part of breaking up his family. He was 100% in the wrong for the circus going under. He basically deserted his business, chasing notoriety. It's really the same reason he almost lost his family. Because his wife was right, it wasn't about the other woman she was just another means to an end for him. And as soon as he had to see her as anything besides a meal ticket to him being accepted, but now an actual person with feelings (wrong though they were), that's when he pulled back.
In real life Jenny Lynd and Barnum had an affair. After my first watch of the movie I looked up the characters to see what was true and what was Hollywoodized.
The way you melted after "Rewrite The Stars", we all felt that. 😄 I think we all had the same thoughts about their relationship watching this for the first time. "You fool! You're fumbling Zendaya!"
You should watch “From Now On” and “This Is Me” from the 20th Century Fox Behind the scenes for this movie. It’s when they first showcased these songs to get the movie green lit. I think it’s worth a watch so you can hear Hugh Jackman sing live.
@@david.sandler27there’s also the video “how I saved The Greatest Showman” by Jeremy Jordan. He talks about being asked to sing the score at the presentation since Hugh couldn’t sing. It’s very entertaining (and it’s too bad he wasn’t cast in the movie)
I feel it’s important to point out that Barnum was very different in real life. He was a conman, where as the movie makes him out to be a pioneer in equality and all that where really he just did it to farm from peoples curiosity. For me it doesn’t take away from the movie but I also feel that it’s important to have a little bit of background on Barnum himself.
You have to look up Loren Allred, she was the one singing Never Enough! The actress Rebecca Ferguson has a musical background, but they used Loren's professional recording for various reasons. It was kept secret for a while until it was revealed and they gave Loren the proper credit!
I’ve heard too that Loren was supposed to just coach Rebecca but Rebecca insisted that Loren do the actual track because she was so good. She did the lip syncing masterfully, though
So I have a question. In the closing credits of the movie version I saw, it lists Loren as being part of the music ensemble and listed (twice) as the vocalist of Never Enough and Never Enough Reprise. However, I had read somewhere that people only knew she was the singer because her name was listed as the vocalist of Never Enough from the soundtrack. Did they add her name later on to the movie credits?
Hugh Jackman is a theatre man through and through. He was starring in Oklahoma in the West End when he was cast as Wolverine. He had a perm and was kind of dressed like a cowboy ehen he auditioned. Next up Chicago and Matilda the Musical 😊
Great reaction. Remember that this is set in the late 1800's. All of the old prejudices apply. Class, race etc. Even in the 1960's these things are in play. LOL tatoos...mostly sailors/extra tough guys. Who knew even kids would end up with them! (Hugh Jackman--Music Man and Oklahoma)
37:21 I totally agree. I'm no singer but a teacher. And there is no better and more intense feeling than a teen sitting in front of you with big eyes, smiling and saying "oh, that's why? I get it!"
You should definitely check out the behind the scenes video of Keala Settle singing "This is Me" to get the movie greenlit (posted on youtube by Fox Family Entertainment, 90 mil views). That video lives in my head rent free, the energy in that room is incredible!!
Zac did an interview recently saying that the bar scene was one of the hardest choreographed scenes he had ever done. It's one of the sickest scenes in the entire movie
Just wanted to mention that this isn’t a Disney film! The acquisition was actually announced the same December this film came out, so this movie was all OG 20th Century Fox. Probably why we haven’t gotten a sequel.
These songs were so popular they were playing on the radio and in everyone's stereo! You couldn't have missed them even if you're just now seeing the movie
Funnily enough, while everyone tends to see Hugh Jackman as wolverine, I grew up watching him as Curly in the musical Oklahoma. It was kind of the kickstarter of his huge career as he was cast as Wolverine through it 28:56 Fun fact! This is Shuler Hensley who played Jud in Oklahoma alongside Hugh Jackman!
If you haven’t watched the behind the scenes where Hugh Jackman was trying to get this movie green lit, and had just had surgery on his nose, and wasn’t supposed to sing, but did anyways…that entire room is vibrating with energy! Must watch! ✨
Hugh Jackson started out as a stage actor/singer. He was nominated for his first Tony, Best Actor in a Musical (1998, Oklahoma) & won a Tony for Best Actor in a Musical (2004, The Boy From Oz). And, as others have mentioned, nominated for an Oscar (2013, Les Miserables…another musical).
I'm an artist and all I want is to share my work with people, not for money, or for fame but because all I've ever wanted to do is make people feel things and tell emotional stories, what you said about making people happy really resonated with me. I'm glad I found your channel and got to see you enjoy one of my favorite movies.
25:21 yea this movie’s music was so popular! All over the radio, they even had an album where different artists covered the songs. I remember when I first watched this movie. I had on in the background while I was on my phone, every time a song came on, I was like 👀 glued to the tv. LOVE this soundtrack ❤
you gotta look up when Hugh Jackman heard Keala Settle sing This is Me for the first time. It was insane, he looked so proud and so emotional at the same time. and Hugh did musical theatre in Australia before doing movies!
The song A Million Dreams was released as a single by Pink and her daughter. There was a whole cd of covers of the songs from the movie. That may be why it sounds familiar
That last scene with his daughter dancing and then the quote coming up at the end, sends me into tears every time. This movie is beautiful. Movies/Musicals that tell stories and have a beautiful message will always be my favorite.
I am...of an older generation, but I love your channel. Hugh Jackman is indeed a talent of the ages. He can act in comedy and drama, and action adventure. But his beginnings are in musical theater. There is footage of him in an Australian production of Oklahoma as Curly. Zendaya is wonderful and does Oakland CA proud. Lastly, how in world do you not know about Nantucket Island in Massachusetts?
"Rewrite the Stars" is my favorite number too -- the choreography is so brilliant, with her flying and him on the ground -- the two of them separated in a way they can't bridge -- but then eventually learning to float in between in perfect harmony. It's gorgeous. Meanwhile, the whole movie is just so much fun and the soundtrack lives in my head for days. This was such a wonderful reaction -- thanks for so much thought and emotion here! I get what moves you about performing as a theatre person (more of a playwright, but I was a musical theatre performer for awhile). Kudos for a really witty, real reaction -- liked and subscribed, and looking forward to more. Cheers!
As others have said, you should definately react to the green lit behind the scenes version of "This is me". Its almost better than the movie version. And its what made them cast the actress as the bearded lady. Orginally she was only supposed to sing the song. But that behind the scenes version wowed everyone and sealed the deal for the movie and for her. It gave me goosebumps, no lie.
I remember seeing this in the theatre on the day it came out, and that opening was phenomenal to experience! It's still one of the only movies I've seen in theatres 3+ times, because of how good it is. Also, my favourite song is Tightrope - it's so underrated and it's the highlight of the movie for me! It's such an amazing song.
Oh this movie holds a special place in my heart. I did my first play based on this movie and got the lead(charity). Watched this hundreds of times to be the best charity I can be. ❤
This was one absolutely huge movie. The soundtrack did amazing in sales and the charts also. I went to the cinema several times to watch this, I loved it that much
Your comment about children loving unconditionally, about how you can hurt them for years and they still love you; that's put some things in perspective for me. It's going to take me a while to unpack that one, but thank you. I've only watched a couple of your reactions so far, but I'm really enjoying your authenticity and intelligent commentary.
I remember watching an interview where he was talking about getting the role of Gaston in the Australian production of Beauty and the Beast. He said his manager asked him if he could sing and he said yeah when actually he couldn’t or at least not well enough for theatre. So he took singing lessons leading up to his audition.
I LOVE this movie, each of the songs everything. I am so glad you are here on RUclips to give us such great content. I cried in the last part and all you said.
Its surprising to me that more people dont know that hugh jackman got his start in theater. I remember seeing him play in Oklahoma, and if im not mistaken that was right before he became wolverine. But yea every time someone reacts to this movie thats like the biggest surprise for everyone though u took it in stride( at first ) 😂 im surprised he didnt star in a musical earlier, though what with how prevalent his role in xmen maybe he didnt have the time.
One of my favorite movie musicals. I cry everytime I hear some of the songs. I went to see this movie with my dad because we shared the love of music and musicals. He died in 2021 and I always think of hi when I see this film. My favorite songs are From Now On" and "Rewrite the Stars". I swear I tear up everytime I get to the 2nd hook of "From Now On" towards that harmony at the end. Anyways, I need that list because I love musicals but I really havent seen a lot of them.
I love Zac and Zendayas song❤ My husband and I start every road trip with this Soundtrack lol thanks for such a great reaction video😊 I enjoy every video you put out!
Also, I think another musical you might want to check out is Singin' in the Rain. It is a classic and the dance scenes and just the visuals are next level. Especially given when it was made. Gene Kelly is an unparalleled dancer, Debbie Reynolds is just the cutest thing and Donald O'Connor is whole other level of physical comedy.
Just came across this video. Fun fact: this was the first movie I watched with him singing (I also grew up watching him as only Wolverine) and my mom told me he was a broadway performer before hey played Wolverine
I just discovered your videos, and I really appreciate who you are a person, and especially that you are a dad teaching your kids how to be good people. I also have to say that I have two girls myself, 19 and 15, and just hang in there, they will make you proud and they will drive you nuts. lol. Having girls is the best...keep them strong and confident and encourage them well. ❤
You can watch Hugh Jackman in “Oklahoma “ from 1998 and he spent a good chunk of his early career in musicals. My suggestion if you haven’t already seen it is West side story either the 1961 or the 2021 version they are both beautiful in their own way or the new Wonka movie
Nantucket is an island in Massachusetts. The soundtrack for this movie is 🔥. I remember seeing Hugh outside a Broadway theater when he was staring in a The Music Man. I was just trying to get to the bus station & I thought that is NYC just running into ⭐ on the streets.
I'm with you, rewrite the stars ,and their relationship was my favorite part of this whole movie by far, anyone who thought zac couldn't sing, he leveld up on this lol
This is my all time favorite movie i love the circus and love musicals so this was just a combination of that, this movie was also a way to help me feel better on my birthday in 2018 my nana showed it to me and its been a comfort movie ever since
OMG! I can't be the only one that wants you to drop the skincare routine! I tried so hard to focus on your reactions to the movie but I can't stop looking at your face! You sir, have amazingly clear skin!
I know this is a comment that came too late, however, you are awesome and never doubt that. You are exactly where you are suppose to be. Thank you for watching this musical and sharing your time with us.
I have been a silent watcher of your channel for a while now and I gotta say I love your reactions. Thank you for being kind and funny as hell. 😂❤ I LOVE this movie so much. "Rewrite The Stars" is also my FAVORITE song in this movie. ❤ I lost my mom on the 5th of December and the 5th makes it one year without her. I miss her so much. And a year before that my older brother had passed unexpectedly. So I understand how you feel. I am so sorry for your loss. I almost got choked up again. Thank you for being you. I can't wait to see what is next for this channel. One last thing, if I could suggest a musical movie, I would suggest Rent. Especially since Christmas and New Years is coming soon. It takes place during that time. Slight warning so your not that shocked, its a little sad BUT SO GOOD! Even if you don't do a reaction, I HIGHLY recommend you watch anyway. But please consider a reaction. Thank you again and have a blessed day. 😊
loved the video And i remember watching it in the cinemas on big screen in 2017 it was amazing and i still love the greatest showman now and the songs are so such a bop and the storyline is so good and your so sweet and you don't deserve hate and lots of love from australia ❤
Yeah. Saw this on a rented DVD at Seaside, Oregon the year it came out. My friend's Quince, I was on the court and we did 3 of the songs and did our own custom dance to it. So yeah, these songs are great.
This movie "going that hard" right at the beginning definitely got some dopamine into my brain... especially since I had done some acting as a hobby a handful of years prior to seeing that movie, so it brought back some very potent memories :D
Nantucket is in New England. The female blonde lead is Michelle Williams. There is a version of this soundtrack reimagined by other artists like Pink it’s great
I asked my Nan for the Oklahoma soundtrack in Middle School. She got me the live version that had Hugh Jackman as Curly. I have loved him since, I think that was in 1998? Funnily enough, at 28:55 the guy heckling them was also in Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman. His name is Shuler Hensley, and his rendition of "Lonely Room" in Oklahoma is my favorite ever. So so great.
Link to Lonely Room if you're at all interested: ruclips.net/video/L4jFhFGg8co/видео.htmlsi=Fz8tp_ydzfdhWWe- and a link to Hugh Jackman's Curly: ruclips.net/video/fY36ZFydH84/видео.html
Hugh Jackman has won many Tony Awards for Broadway musicals. I saw him in Oklahoma where he both sang and danced the ballet. The director said how fortunate he was because both the male and female leads were triple threats: actors, singers, and dancers. Usually they would bring in body doubles for the dancing.
I love this movie and the soundtrack so much. I watched in theaters like 4 or 5 times 😂. If you loved the text at the end, you should watch Meet the Robinson. It's not a musical but the message at end...
Back in 2003 he was in a musical on Broadway called "The Boy from Oz" I don't know if he won awards for this but I remember a funny story he told on a late show. The main character in the musical was gay and he had to do a kiss with his male costar. Just as he was about to "connect" a voice came from the audience (I'm paraphrasing here) Oh no Wolverine don't do it! 😂 So, yes he was known as a song and dance man way before he was Wolverine! I just love The Greatest Showman, the dancing the singing every song a winner! So happy you liked it!
my fave scene is the other side not necessarily cause it’s the best just because of the memories associated with it. when i was younger me and my best friend were obsessed with this movie and we would sing and dance to all the songs. for this one we used juice boxes instead of alcohol. i was zac and she was hugh. one of my core memories right there and now that song is my fave.
Hey! I just found your channel with this video. I was obsessed, I mean totally obsessed, with this movie and it's still one of my absolute all time favorites. From looking at the comments below I see everyone's already told you the things I wanted to, but one thing I'll add. I loved what you said about doing the best you can on RUclips and still getting hated. I almost gave up RUclips for that reason a few years back. I'm glad you feel the way you do, there are people out there who watch you and love what you do, and one of the best things is being able to share joy, which is what you do. Keep on truckin' ok? Thanks for a great video, I'm about to go check out what else you have.
I would LOVE to see you react to Spirited! Its a Christmas musical that stars Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer. It blew my mind and is now one of my favorite musicals!! ❤
Lauren’s wasn’t the only one who came back, where mulligan became James Madison, Samuel seabury became a dancer and a doctor Charles lee became a dancer and a doctor Lafayette became Jefferson Peggy became Maria reynolds James reynolds became a BACKROUND dancer
I definitely thought this was a Disney movie lol my fault yaw !!
What’s your favorite song ?
Rewrite the Stars is STILL in my 2023 Spotify Wrapped playlist 😂
The Greatest Show is my jam, specially ehn Zack Efron starts singing. Shame he stopped doing musicals, he's an amazing singer.
Rewrite the Stars and Other Side for sure!
I subscribe to your channel because I want to see your reaction to a movie that I have seen. I am not here for the movie because I can watch it all by myself. I am here, subscribed to your channel to watch you and it made me happy. Keep it going buddy. 👍
my favorite song is This Is Me
From Now on
Fun fact: Zendaya and Zac did that whole duet scene themselves. They did all the stunts EVEN the jumping part!
Yeah they’re both fire for that 🔥
I love the interview where Zendaya got there the day of and was having second thoughts because no net and higher than she thought. Then Hugh came over and goes “You are so badass I could never do this” and Zendaya was like “TAKE ME UP 👆🏻”
bro the OUTTAKES where they slam into each other 😂😂😂
BEST SONG IN THE MOVIE!!!
Definitely search for the video where they talk about how this went down. It makes the scene 10 times more impressive.
Fun fact, the bartender in the scene was actually the choreographer for the scene
NOBODY that reacts to this movie gets that the house he buys for her is the house they played in as children. Why is that so hard? He bought it and had it restored.
lol literally, I think everyone is mostly just too distracted by listening to the song 😂
I thought it was so obvious I didn't realize some ppl didn't realize that and I only watched the movie for the first time yesterday 😭
Bro so true! I thought everyone saw
im ngl i've seen this movie 20 times i love it so much and i have never noticed that
I noticed that from when I first watched it when I was 5 or 6 or 4
Zendaya did her own stunts for this :) She said in an interview that she was terrified until Hugh Jackman told her she was a badass, then she was all "I got this!"
Sorry for your loss. I just lost my spouse of 24 years who throughout life sang, played piano, performed, wrote musicals, started a theater company, began after school music programs in underserved public schools, etc.
I watch you because I see in you every passionate young student, actor, singer and musician that I met throughout our lives together. Keep that passion you have. People see it.
Oh I’m sorry for you
God bless you and praying for healing and nothing but blessings your way !
Music is my first love and that’ll never change
32:15 While she was in the wrong for the kiss and even willing to be a part of breaking up his family. He was 100% in the wrong for the circus going under. He basically deserted his business, chasing notoriety. It's really the same reason he almost lost his family.

In real life Jenny Lynd and Barnum had an affair. After my first watch of the movie I looked up the characters to see what was true and what was Hollywoodized.
I thought they had an actual affair - they were together that kiss was out of spite she wanted everyone to know they were together
The way you melted after "Rewrite The Stars", we all felt that. 😄 I think we all had the same thoughts about their relationship watching this for the first time. "You fool! You're fumbling Zendaya!"
Hugh Jackman has a musical theatre background and has performed on broadway, off-broadway and the west end!
You should watch “From Now On” and “This Is Me” from the 20th Century Fox Behind the scenes for this movie. It’s when they first showcased these songs to get the movie green lit. I think it’s worth a watch so you can hear Hugh Jackman sing live.
absolutely! These belong to my favourite live performances of all time! The energy in the room is just phenomenal!
And that he also had surgery on his nose and was not supposed to sing, it broke a few stitches and he had to have it fixed
@@david.sandler27there’s also the video “how I saved The Greatest Showman” by Jeremy Jordan. He talks about being asked to sing the score at the presentation since Hugh couldn’t sing. It’s very entertaining (and it’s too bad he wasn’t cast in the movie)
Yes!!!! I watch those videos istg like once a month at this point
I feel it’s important to point out that Barnum was very different in real life. He was a conman, where as the movie makes him out to be a pioneer in equality and all that where really he just did it to farm from peoples curiosity. For me it doesn’t take away from the movie but I also feel that it’s important to have a little bit of background on Barnum himself.
Legit, after, I looked up his bio and it nearly ruined it for me cause he was legitimately TERRIBLE!
You have to look up Loren Allred, she was the one singing Never Enough!
The actress Rebecca Ferguson has a musical background, but they used Loren's professional recording for various reasons.
It was kept secret for a while until it was revealed and they gave Loren the proper credit!
I’ve heard too that Loren was supposed to just coach Rebecca but Rebecca insisted that Loren do the actual track because she was so good. She did the lip syncing masterfully, though
So I have a question. In the closing credits of the movie version I saw, it lists Loren as being part of the music ensemble and listed (twice) as the vocalist of Never Enough and Never Enough Reprise. However, I had read somewhere that people only knew she was the singer because her name was listed as the vocalist of Never Enough from the soundtrack.
Did they add her name later on to the movie credits?
Hugh Jackman is a theatre man through and through. He was starring in Oklahoma in the West End when he was cast as Wolverine. He had a perm and was kind of dressed like a cowboy ehen he auditioned.
Next up Chicago and Matilda the Musical 😊
Chicago is awesome, definitely do that one
CHICAGO ♥️
My favorite celeb story is that Hugh Jackman auditioned for wolverine just to have a job in the moment, but he's a theater kid through and through
One of his best theatre performances is The Boy From Oz.
Yesssss
Great reaction. Remember that this is set in the late 1800's. All of the old prejudices apply. Class, race etc. Even in the 1960's these things are in play. LOL tatoos...mostly sailors/extra tough guys. Who knew even kids would end up with them! (Hugh Jackman--Music Man and Oklahoma)

Vibing to the song instead of noticing Phineas' father dying is a mood.

28:56 Fun fact! This is Shuler Hensley who played Jud in Oklahoma alongside Hugh Jackman!
I had the same facts!!! Hahahahaha!!! I love this
I saw Hugh Jackman on stage in Sunset Boulevard in the 90s in Melbourne, Australia! :)
If you haven’t watched the behind the scenes where Hugh Jackman was trying to get this movie green lit, and had just had surgery on his nose, and wasn’t supposed to sing, but did anyways…that entire room is vibrating with energy! Must watch! ✨

Indeed 🔥 Do it for the right reasons .. and the other things will come 🙏🏼
Making others happy in the long run means so much more to me
Actually Hugh Jackman has a musical theatre background! He did that long before becoming an actor ^_^ so yes, he's been singing a looong time hehe. ♥
25:21 yea this movie’s music was so popular! All over the radio, they even had an album where different artists covered the songs. I remember when I first watched this movie. I had on in the background while I was on my phone, every time a song came on, I was like 👀 glued to the tv. LOVE this soundtrack ❤
you gotta look up when Hugh Jackman heard Keala Settle sing This is Me for the first time. It was insane, he looked so proud and so emotional at the same time. and Hugh did musical theatre in Australia before doing movies!
❤
The "Never enough" song always destroys me. The nuanced acting + heartfelt music in this movie makes for multiple intense gut punches to the feels.
The song A Million Dreams was released as a single by Pink and her daughter. There was a whole cd of covers of the songs from the movie. That may be why it sounds familiar
That last scene with his daughter dancing and then the quote coming up at the end, sends me into tears every time. This movie is beautiful. Movies/Musicals that tell stories and have a beautiful message will always be my favorite.

I would really recommend watching her sing live “this is me” for the first time for the cast! The emotionnnssss😮😳🥺
Hugh Jackman has been on Broadway. 2004 he won a Tony Award. He's also been on stage in London.
As others have said, you should definately react to the green lit behind the scenes version of "This is me". Its almost better than the movie version. And its what made them cast the actress as the bearded lady. Orginally she was only supposed to sing the song. But that behind the scenes version wowed everyone and sealed the deal for the movie and for her. It gave me goosebumps, no lie.
So powerful! I agree, it's better than the scene in the movie and definately emotional.
Thank you so much for this beautiful reaction ❤️ you are an amazing person thank you so much and stay loved and blessed as well ❤
16:28, well actually I had a crush on Corbin Bleu during hsm, thank you very much lol
Hey man! Your joy brings me joy!
My suggestion: Tick-Tick…Boom! Is a MUST WATCH
That’s fire 🔥 thank you 🙏🏼

That is exactly what you do sir, thank you. ❤

It's going to take me a while to unpack that one, but thank you. I've only watched a couple of your reactions so far, but I'm really enjoying your authenticity and intelligent commentary.
laughed so hard at how you melted in your chair after rewrite the stars. happened to all of us 😂😂😂
I remember watching an interview where he was talking about getting the role of Gaston in the Australian production of Beauty and the Beast.
He said his manager asked him if he could sing and he said yeah when actually he couldn’t or at least not well enough for theatre. So he took singing lessons leading up to his audition.
Okay the ending of you choking up made me subscribe to you. I have only seen a few of your reactions but I love your vibes and aura.
Love that ! 🤞🏽
The kid who played young Barnum was actually so talented. His vocal range is incredible
Those songs were all over the radio. Still are. I heard This Is Me yesterday.
I LOVE this movie, each of the songs everything. I am so glad you are here on RUclips to give us such great content. I cried in the last part and all you said.
Zendaya learned how to use the trapeze for this movie that was really all her
Its surprising to me that more people dont know that hugh jackman got his start in theater. I remember seeing him play in Oklahoma, and if im not mistaken that was right before he became wolverine. But yea every time someone reacts to this movie thats like the biggest surprise for everyone though u took it in stride( at first ) 😂 im surprised he didnt star in a musical earlier, though what with how prevalent his role in xmen maybe he didnt have the time.
This is my favorite movie of all time. It never fails to make me happy. Thank you for reacting to this❤️
People enjoy your musical reaction because you enjoy them so much. You are a joy to watch. Also because musicals are just awesome 😊
Hugh Jackman has done musicals on Broadway. He has a Tony. He is musical theatre BEFORE Wolverine.
Not me singing “say something, I’m giving up on you” at the exact moment you did 🙌🏻🤣❤️
One of my favorite movie musicals. I cry everytime I hear some of the songs. I went to see this movie with my dad because we shared the love of music and musicals. He died in 2021 and I always think of hi when I see this film. My favorite songs are From Now On" and "Rewrite the Stars". I swear I tear up everytime I get to the 2nd hook of "From Now On" towards that harmony at the end. Anyways, I need that list because I love musicals but I really havent seen a lot of them.
Now that you've seen Hugh Jackman in this one, you have to do "Les Miserables". It is one of my all-time favorite musicals.
I love Zac and Zendayas song❤ My husband and I start every road trip with this Soundtrack lol thanks for such a great reaction video😊 I enjoy every video you put out!
I love zac and zendaya too it was amazing!
Also, I think another musical you might want to check out is Singin' in the Rain. It is a classic and the dance scenes and just the visuals are next level. Especially given when it was made. Gene Kelly is an unparalleled dancer, Debbie Reynolds is just the cutest thing and Donald O'Connor is whole other level of physical comedy.
Yes!! He should watch some old school musicals! Singing in the rain really holds up and is really fun!
I feel like the movie "Wonder" would legit put this man in tears lmao
“Y’all all had the same crush” nahhh speak for yourself!! I was all over mister Corbin Bleu 😂
Just came across this video. Fun fact: this was the first movie I watched with him singing (I also grew up watching him as only Wolverine) and my mom told me he was a broadway performer before hey played Wolverine
I just discovered your videos, and I really appreciate who you are a person, and especially that you are a dad teaching your kids how to be good people. I also have to say that I have two girls myself, 19 and 15, and just hang in there, they will make you proud and they will drive you nuts. lol. Having girls is the best...keep them strong and confident and encourage them well. ❤
Thank you for the kind words! 🌸
You can watch Hugh Jackman in “Oklahoma “ from 1998 and he spent a good chunk of his early career in musicals.
My suggestion if you haven’t already seen it is West side story either the 1961 or the 2021 version they are both beautiful in their own way or the new Wonka movie
Nantucket is an island in Massachusetts. The soundtrack for this movie is 🔥. I remember seeing Hugh outside a Broadway theater when he was staring in a The Music Man. I was just trying to get to the bus station & I thought that is NYC just running into ⭐ on the streets.
I was looking for this comment, regarding Nantucket The TV show Wings got me familiar with it (lol).
The actress that plays Jenny Lind isnt the one singing. The real singers name is Loren Allred. Shes phenomenal.
You are definitely one of my faves. It's the genuineness for me.
I just wanna say watching your videos bring me so much joy - so your goal to make people happy, has defo exceeded
Appreciate the love 🙌🏽
I'm with you, rewrite the stars ,and their relationship was my favorite part of this whole movie by far, anyone who thought zac couldn't sing, he leveld up on this lol
Looking forward to you doing more musicals! So many good ones available to you!
This is my all time favorite movie i love the circus and love musicals so this was just a combination of that, this movie was also a way to help me feel better on my birthday in 2018 my nana showed it to me and its been a comfort movie ever since
OMG! I can't be the only one that wants you to drop the skincare routine! I tried so hard to focus on your reactions to the movie but I can't stop looking at your face! You sir, have amazingly clear skin!
I know this is a comment that came too late, however, you are awesome and never doubt that. You are exactly where you are suppose to be. Thank you for watching this musical and sharing your time with us.
Def gotta check out behind the scenes of Keala singing This is Me & Hugh singing From Now On
I have been a silent watcher of your channel for a while now and I gotta say I love your reactions. Thank you for being kind and funny as hell. 😂❤
I LOVE this movie so much. "Rewrite The Stars" is also my FAVORITE song in this movie. ❤
I lost my mom on the 5th of December and the 5th makes it one year without her. I miss her so much. And a year before that my older brother had passed unexpectedly. So I understand how you feel. I am so sorry for your loss. I almost got choked up again. Thank you for being you. I can't wait to see what is next for this channel.
One last thing, if I could suggest a musical movie, I would suggest Rent. Especially since Christmas and New Years is coming soon. It takes place during that time. Slight warning so your not that shocked, its a little sad BUT SO GOOD! Even if you don't do a reaction, I HIGHLY recommend you watch anyway. But please consider a reaction. Thank you again and have a blessed day. 😊
loved the video And i remember watching it in the cinemas on big screen in 2017 it was amazing and i still love the greatest showman now and the songs are so such a bop and the storyline is so good and your so sweet and you don't deserve hate and lots of love from australia ❤
Yeah. Saw this on a rented DVD at Seaside, Oregon the year it came out. My friend's Quince, I was on the court and we did 3 of the songs and did our own custom dance to it. So yeah, these songs are great.
This movie "going that hard" right at the beginning definitely got some dopamine into my brain... especially since I had done some acting as a hobby a handful of years prior to seeing that movie, so it brought back some very potent memories :D
Nantucket is in New England. The female blonde lead is Michelle Williams. There is a version of this soundtrack reimagined by other artists like Pink it’s great
I LOVED THIS SHOW! I watched it on repeat when I was younger like 1million times
*MOVIE NOT SHOW*
-This is the greatest show got me lol-
I asked my Nan for the Oklahoma soundtrack in Middle School. She got me the live version that had Hugh Jackman as Curly. I have loved him since, I think that was in 1998? Funnily enough, at 28:55 the guy heckling them was also in Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman. His name is Shuler Hensley, and his rendition of "Lonely Room" in Oklahoma is my favorite ever. So so great.

You are a beautiful and amazing human! Thank you for the reaction!
Wow. How did I stumble over your channel only now? What a wonderful reaction from a wonderful, beautiful human being. Subbed!
God bless you 🙏🏼🤍
Hugh Jackman actually was already singing in 1996 as Gaston in a production of Beauty and the Beast. He's always known how to sing.
This is one of my favorite musicals
3:46 snatch and run:I thought we were talking about Aladdin for a second😅
I MEANT 3:41
Rewrite the Stars is my favorite song and scene too. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it! 💜
Hugh Jackman has won many Tony Awards for Broadway musicals. I saw him in Oklahoma where he both sang and danced the ballet. The director said how fortunate he was because both the male and female leads were triple threats: actors, singers, and dancers. Usually they would bring in body doubles for the dancing.
I bought the DVD of this movie and the behind the scene of how all the music was developed is as interesting as the movie!
This movie never fails to make me tear up ♥️
I love this movie and the soundtrack so much. I watched in theaters like 4 or 5 times 😂.
If you loved the text at the end, you should watch Meet the Robinson. It's not a musical but the message at end...
One of my favorite movies ever !
Fun fact: the song "never enough" that the opera singer performed was actually sung by Loren Allred and not the actress in the movie :)
Back in 2003 he was in a musical on Broadway called "The Boy from Oz" I don't know if he won awards for this but I remember a funny story he told on a late show. The main character in the musical was gay and he had to do a kiss with his male costar. Just as he was about to "connect" a voice came from the audience (I'm paraphrasing here) Oh no Wolverine don't do it! 😂
So, yes he was known as a song and dance man way before he was Wolverine! I just love The Greatest Showman, the dancing the singing every song a winner! So happy you liked it!
my fave scene is the other side not necessarily cause it’s the best just because of the memories associated with it.
when i was younger me and my best friend were obsessed with this movie and we would sing and dance to all the songs. for this one we used juice boxes instead of alcohol. i was zac and she was hugh. one of my core memories right there and now that song is my fave.
Hey! I just found your channel with this video. I was obsessed, I mean totally obsessed, with this movie and it's still one of my absolute all time favorites. From looking at the comments below I see everyone's already told you the things I wanted to, but one thing I'll add. I loved what you said about doing the best you can on RUclips and still getting hated. I almost gave up RUclips for that reason a few years back. I'm glad you feel the way you do, there are people out there who watch you and love what you do, and one of the best things is being able to share joy, which is what you do. Keep on truckin' ok? Thanks for a great video, I'm about to go check out what else you have.
I would LOVE to see you react to Spirited! Its a Christmas musical that stars Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer. It blew my mind and is now one of my favorite musicals!! ❤
Lauren’s wasn’t the only one who came back, where
mulligan became James Madison,
Samuel seabury became a dancer and a doctor
Charles lee became a dancer and a doctor
Lafayette became Jefferson
Peggy became Maria reynolds
James reynolds became a BACKROUND dancer
5:58 that happened last year, I happened to leave that job a few weeks before, but a couple of my friends had it rough for bit.
"Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned."
Yes, Hugh Jackman is a singer. He starred in many stage musicals. Oklahoma, Beauty and the Beast, The Boy from Oz... Plus Les Miserables.
