Currently The Greatest Showman’s soundtrack is still a big hit in the U.K. and elsewhere, and per the Sun, a Broadway stint is being fast-tracked over something different like The Greatest Showman 2.
The potential for this sort of deal doesn’t come as a huge surprise, as The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey has previously said he thinks a musical would be a great idea.
This week, there’s been a lot of news coming out of the Cannes Film Festival, but one of the most intriguing bits of information should be this info about The Greatest Showman.
Rumor has it a potential Broadway project was in the works when the songs for The Greatest Showman were being written and the movie was coming together, but the folks at Twentieth Century Fox weren’t sure the gamble would pay off in box office returns.
