Watch: Zac Efron & Zendaya Talk Acrobatics and 'The Greatest Showman'

Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, "The Greatest Showman" is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

Trading in his Wolverine claws for a red tailcoat and ringmaster's top hat, "X Men" star Hugh Jackman received top billing as circus pioneer and professional humbug salesman P.T. Barnum, the man credited with coining the phrase; "There's a sucker born every minute."

Co-starring with Jackman is Zac Efron, Zendaya and Michelle Williams. Rebecca Ferguson and 60s pop star Diahann Carroll also appear in the film which is due out on December 20, 2017.
