The Greatest Showman, which has grossed $270m worldwide, is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life. Inspired by the ambition and imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman tells the story of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a mesmerising spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. The Greatest Showman is directed by exciting new filmmaker Michael Gracey, with songs co-produced and written by Tony, Academy Award and GRAMMY®-winning duo Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen), co-produced by GRAMMY®-nominee Greg Wells (Twenty One Pilots, Adele, Katy Perry) and executive produced by Tony and GRAMMY® Award winner Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen). The film stars Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman alongside Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Zac Efron, and Rebecca Ferguson.

The film topped the Australian box office in its sixth week of release. The uplifting all-audience musical opened in cinemas on Boxing Day, and in its sixth week of release earned weekend takings of AUD$1.6M. To date, the film has earned an impressive AUD$26.6M. To celebrate, 20th Century Fox are proud to announce a limited season of The Greatest Showman Sing-Along sessions. Limited sessions will screen nationally in Australian cinemas on 23, 24 & 25 February, 2018.
