Review: MUSIC OF THE GREATEST SHOWMAN at The Ridgely Theater, Fort Worth TX

The Greatest Showman is a 2017 American biograhical musical. The film is a heavily fictionalized depiction of the life of P.T. Barnum, a showman and entertainer, played by Hugh Jackman and his creation of the PT Barnum Circus and the lives of its star attractions.

To see a 17 piece orchestra and vocalists perform some of the highlights of this energetic score in a candlelight setting to a sold out crowd is a thrilling adventure!  The concert is accompanied by the Vienna Light Orchestra, illuminated by over 2,000 candles making live music a beautiful event. From Boston's Fenway MGM Music Hall to Cathedrals, they are an international audience favorite. 

The 20,000 square foot  Ridglea Theater residing at Camp Bowie Blvd. in Fort Worth, built in 1947 has been restored and is re-living its former glory.  Once a premiere movie house featuring classic films of decades past. The original 70-foot stone tower still stands as the iconic landmark of the west side. It was revived to its authentic unique Spanish- Mediterrane elements, including the original terrazzo floor and panoramic mural by artist Eugene Gilboe.

The Orchestra opens with selections of popular numbers including music from "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "E.T. Flight Theme" then moves on to Broadway show tunes " Phantom of the Opera", "Sunrise Sunset", "Once Upon A December" and "Let It Go".
