The world was obsessed with the music of The Greatest Showman when it was first released in Cinemas in 2017. Surprisingly, this is the first time The Greatest Showman has been added to Netflix UK’s library.

From his humble beginnings, P.T. Barnum rose to prominence, giving the world a show like no other, featuring unique acts and talented performers. Audiences flocked to his show.
