  1. The end of the performance of #ThisIsMe by #MalindaParris at #D23 #D23Expo during the Entertainment showcase. I recorded at that point because I was too busy enjoying her performance and crying and trying not to sob from the moment she started singing. It was an amazing performance, and as you can hear, she was incredible. You can find more videos of her performance all over Instagram. And yes, the entire company was fantastic. Kudos to all of them. #TheGreatestShowman

  8. So, I have mixed feelings on this, #TheGreatestShowman has an absolute banger of a soundtrack, but the real life PT Barnum was not a good person.

  10. And then, the audience at the #HondaCenter for night one of the #D23Expo #D23 #DisneyEntertainmentShowcase collectively lost our minds at the realization that #DisneyOnBroadway was working on #TheGreatestShowman.

    Really, really, really hoping they come to the #LaJollaPlayhouse as they work through the show. #TheGreatestShowmanTheNewMusical 2/2

  13. After #sleeping for 16.5 hours #neuro yesterday delighted to manage a little #accordion practice first thing today. Dug out my book of #piano #sheetMusic from #TheGreatestShowman, and experimented with some of the tunes, trying out possible #harmonies etc. Definitely planning to arrange an accordion version of #RewriteTheStars. Going back to sleep shortly, but pleased with that. #GreatestShowman #Squeezebox #MusicArranging #ArrangingMusic #music

  14. Covering The Songs from The Greatest Showman

    Growing up with musical parents as I did, it’s probably not surprising that I enjoy musicals. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein were regular musical fixtures in my home, as were Stephen Sondheim, W. S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan, Alan Lerner, and Frederick Loewe.

    I so enjoyed musicals that when my father started teaching a course at Marietta College about the Modern American Musical, I tried to convince him to let me audit the course. Turns out it was booked solid both semesters.

    I’m not sure that I’ve got a favorite musical though. I do like certain songs from certain shows, but as for a favorite show? Not really. Maybe it changes from time to time. For example, I was a big fan of Camelot for quite a while, as well as South Pacific. I loved The Sound of Music as well. I’m kind of burned out on the songs these days though. It may have something to do with my Pandora Showtunes channel though.

    But I’ve seen lots of musicals and musical films.

    • Sweeney Todd (in London)
    • Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Broadway, local production, and we own the Donny Osmond version)
    • You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
    • Mikado (Parkersburg Actors Guild, with my dad as musical director)
    • Oklahoma! (Tech crew for my senior class musical; Actors Guild of Parkersburg; and we own it)
    • South Pacific (Actors Guild of Parkersburg; and we own it)
    • The Wizard of Oz
    • The Sound of Music
    • High School Musical (all three. I have teen girls.)
    • Annie (I like both versions equally. Sue me.)
    • Grease
    • The Blues Brothers (If High School Musical is a musical, then so is The Blues Brothers)
    • The King and I
    • The Rocky Horror Picture Show
    • West Side Story
    • Mary Poppins
    • Most of the Disney musicals in the last 20 years. Hey, with as many kids as I’ve got, are you surprised?

    My dad was a regular conductor for the Actors Guild of Parkersburg shows, and it’s another one of my musical regrets that I never performed with him. I didn’t have the skills needed in a musical pit orchestra though. With the space limitations (orchestra pits are extremely compact), they can’t afford someone who can only play one instrument. I did work on Oklahoma! as technical crew though. My high school band played several selections from A Chorus Line as well.

    The Greatest Showman

    For whatever reason, I was prepared to not like the show. P. T. Barnum has not always carried a favorable public opinion. Many people still think of him as a huckster and a fraud. His name has long been (wrongly) associated with the phrase “There’s a sucker born every minute.” I knew him as the founder of the circus that bore his name for over a hundred years, as well as the “Feejee mermaid” hoax and the “This way to the egress” trick signs. I didn’t know he was the mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, or that he was instrumental in founding the Bridgeport Hospital, was a temperance speaker, and an abolitionist. The things you learn about a person after you see a movie about them.

    But Olivia loves to sing and dance, and we had date night, so I ponied up the twenty bucks and away we went.

    I loved it.

    It didn’t try to be historical. It wasn’t intended to be accurate. I came away thinking the movie wasn’t so much about Barnum as it was intended to tell people that it’s okay to be yourself, and be proud of who you are.

    The music was great. I hadn’t seen Les Misérables, so I didn’t know how well Hugh Jackman could sing. I really only knew him as Logan, so seeing him in this was interesting, to say the least.

    Here Come the Covers

    Naturally, when a show like this comes along, everyone and his brother (or sister) starts releasing their own versions of the music. I’m looking forward to Home Free, one of my favorite a cappella groups, covering something from the movie. I think a lot of the songs lend themselves really well to a cappella versions.

    One of the things I love about cover songs is that they expose me to groups I might not have listened to, thanks to YouTube’s algorithms. I started listening to the Greatest Showman soundtrack on Youtube a while back, and now the cover songs are popping up in the “Up Next” playlist. Here are some of my favorites from what I’ve listened to over the last couple of weeks. I hope enjoy these. Pop on down to the comments section, and tell me what your favorite musical is or your favorite song from The Greatest Showman.
