On set of The Greatest Showman: Pasek & Paul sing This Is Me | Magic Radio

Magic had an exclusive look around the set of The Greatest Showman, the brand new musical which stars Hugh Jackman as PT Barnum.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (who wrote songs for La La Land and won an Oscar for that) let us in on some of their songwriting secrets, singing us through This is Me, the track performed by Broadway star Keala Settle in the movie.
Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, and Zendaya also star in the film which is out in the UK on Boxing Day, 26 December 2017.
You can also hear our celebration of the greatest shows on earth, in our documentary series on musicals – on air, on Magic Radio, Saturday nights at 7pm throughout December.

At Magic we play more of the songs you love. We keep the UK in a good mood whenever and wherever they listen by playing the best tracks from Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Take That, Motown and more.

"What are you talking about?" took the words right out of my mouth. Jesus this music deserves a better movie

So Benj Pasek is the tenor. They can actually sing and perform as they're formally trained musical theatre actors. Of course, they're not really trying to perform the song here.

In a few days this song will win the Oscar.

THIS IS ME is the best song in the film

The interviewer is annoying looking at that box over and over again. Pay Attention to your subjects!!
