What is there to say about that big duet between Zendaya and Zac Efron, which just radiates SEX in every frame? What is there to say about numbers like "The Greatest Show" and "This is Me," powerful pop ballads that make your hair stand on end? I've listened to the soundtrack to this film an embarrassing number of times and now that it's streaming on Disney+, I think I'll be fast-forwarding to the musical numbers often. While the non-singing bits suggest director Michael Gracey doesn't know a damn thing about telling a cinematic story, the numbers are frequently incredible, blending modern pop sensibilities, dream-like fantasia, and classic Broadway spectacle into sequences that demand to be played at high volume. Yes, dear reader: I revisited the songs and the songs only, fast-forwarding through the nonsense between them and being swept up in their visual grandeur and stunning staging. Written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, eight of the nine songs in the film are genuinely exceptional ("Never Enough" suffers because actress Rebecca Ferguson is painfully dubbed) and I found myself gleefully revisiting them now that the film is on Disney+.
