I LOVE THESE SO DAMN MUCH

[trade-that-typical]

ahhh!!! my amazing cello teacher found an arrangement of rewrite the stars and we’re doing a duet together! she’s playing anne’s part and i’m doing phillip, i’m very excited :DD

[trade-that-typical]

Phillip: Come on, Anne, I wasn’t that drunk.

Anne: You tried to color my face with a highlighter because you said I was important.

Phillip, crying: But you are...

[isaacmcadoo]

Okay, it’s official, I have finally found my spirit animal. Helen Barnum (P.T. Barnum’s youngest daughter in the Greatest Showman) because I, too, want to be Lettie, am in love with Phillip Carlyle, and only have the talent to be the tree in a ballet.

[thegreatestjxckman]

I am in desperate need of an extended The Greatest Showman soundtrack!

I would gladly listen to every version of the songs including:

- When P.T. fades to a whisper in The Greatest Show

- When Anne sobs the Rewite The Stars Chorus and

- When P.T. Contently sings The Greatest Show at the ballet recital

They are everything and whether they’d be 10 seconds or 2 minutes long I would listen to them all with complete admiration. We need this.

[jackmansjoy]

I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO MAKE A POST EXACTLY LIKE THIS BECAUSE I FEEL CHEATED THAT THEY ARENT ON THE SOUNDTRACK

[fuckbarnum]

I AM 100% WITH YOU

However, I would also love to have the score. For example

The moment Jenny Lind walks into Buckingham Palace and the Never Enough instrumental is playing

And at the very end when Phineas kisses Charity on the beach and the From Now On instrumental plays

[barnumsbxtch]

• AND when P.T. is at the bank and the Come Alive instrumental plays when he hears Charles and his mother

[carlyles-ass]

HNGGGGGG PLEASE

[philmeupphin]

CHARLES SINGING IN THIS IS ME??

[wizard-of-the-cave]

*slams $20 and a gun on the table* Give little charity her bit back in a million dreams. I won’t ask again.

[thescarletbitchh-deactivated202]

adding on to the score thing… there’s an instrumental version of rewrite the stars that plays very briefly towards the end of the credits and it absolutely kills me

[trade-that-typical]

zac efron’s vocal glow up reblog if you agree

[crown-of-the-circus-king-deacti]

FROM NOW ON PROTECTION SQUAD, ASSEMBLE

LISTEN UP, ASSHOLES, WE’VE GOT A SITUATION ON OUR HANDS THAT CALLS FOR DRASTIC MEASURES

SO MY LITTLE BRO’S IN A STUDY GROUP FOR SCHOOL, AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS AGREED THAT FROM NOW ON WAS THEIR LEAST FAVORITE SONG ON THE SOUNDTRACK

REBLOG IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM, AND I’LL SHOW THEM THE NOTES

[jackmansjoy]

How is this possible???

[antivanruffles]

I wish I had the ability to make gifsets (or take clear screencaps I NEED THE BLURAY) because I really want a gif of Phillip’s face journey when he and P.T. are talking to Jenny and she’s like “have you heard me sing” and P.T. says no. 

[trade-that-typical]

Phillip: Look, Phin is great, but he doesn’t really have a life plan.

Phillip: He doesn’t even have a day plan.

Phillip: I once found a note he wrote to himself that said, ‘put on pants’ followed by a question mark.

[trade-that-typical]

Anne: I hate you.

Phillip: I hate me too! We’re perfect for each other!

[trade-that-typical]

PT: Remember that time you dared me to lick that swing set?

Charity: No, I said, “Phin, don’t lick that swing set,” and you said, “Don’t tell me what to do, Charity” and you licked the swing set.
