I would gladly listen to every version of the songs including:

- When P.T. fades to a whisper in The Greatest Show

- When Anne sobs the Rewite The Stars Chorus and

- When P.T. Contently sings The Greatest Show at the ballet recital

However, I would also love to have the score. For example

The moment Jenny Lind walks into Buckingham Palace and the Never Enough instrumental is playing

LISTEN UP, ASSHOLES, WE’VE GOT A SITUATION ON OUR HANDS THAT CALLS FOR DRASTIC MEASURES

SO MY LITTLE BRO’S IN A STUDY GROUP FOR SCHOOL, AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS AGREED THAT FROM NOW ON WAS THEIR LEAST FAVORITE SONG ON THE SOUNDTRACK

An appreciation post for the entire circus crew in The Greatest Showman - complete with fanon names for the unnamed characters that the Cult of Barlyle discord server came up with. This is just a names post, but I’m going to make more with info/headcanons on each oddity later!
