The Greatest Showman's Voices: Cynthia Erivo & More! Behind The Scenes

Ever wondered who breathed life into the soaring melodies of The Greatest Showman during its nascent stages? It was a cadre of Broadway's finest vocal talents, including the prodigious Cynthia Erivo, whose voices were instrumental in securing the film's production.

Before the glitz and glamour of the silver screen, and even before Hugh Jackman defied doctor's orders, the music of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the masterminds behind the score, needed a voice. In the hopes of securing 20th Century Fox's backing, a reading was presented to executives, featuring Broadway stalwarts. Among those present, and lending their unmatched vocal prowess, were Cynthia Erivo, Keala Settle (who would later be cast as the Bearded Lady), and Tameka Lawrence. Their voices served as a compelling testament to the music's potential, a crucial step in bringing the spectacular vision to life.
