The Greatest Showman Singers: Cynthia Erivo & More! Behind The Scenes
Ever wondered who lent their voices to those mesmerizing rehearsal sessions of "The Greatest Showman"? The raw talent and vocal power behind those early renditions hinted at the cinematic triumph to come. Broadway's best, including some names you'll definitely recognize, stepped up to bring Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's music to life, even before 20th Century Fox fully committed to the film.
Before the cameras rolled and the sets were built, these artists poured their hearts into the score, shaping the sound and feel of what would become a global phenomenon. Among them were Cynthia Erivo, Keala Settle (who would later be cast as the iconic Bearded Lady), Tameka Lawrence, and many other gifted vocalists who contributed to the film's development.
