The Greatest Showman star, Hugh Jackman, was featured saying, “It is phenomenal. It just filled me with delight. The acting was incredible, the dancing is incredible.” Singer Ariana Grande applauded the film, saying “It couldn’t have been more brilliantly done, and I can’t wait to see it again, and I need a soundtrack…Yeah, quickly.” Actor Dwayne Johnson explained, “It’s a day in the life of people who have dreams, people who aspire to be more, but also remembering that home is where you always want to come back to.” The trailer featured clips of the characters singing and dancing to the film’s theme song, as well as interviews with celebs like Drew Barrymore expressing how excited they are to see it.
