THE CIRCUS — If you haven't been around for the past few months, you may have missed the near-mania surrounding the film "The Greatest Showman."
It seems like every time I turn on a YouTube video, log onto Facebook or get in a friend's car I hear the music. I'm sure this is fine and great if you love the movie, like seemingly every person I have ever met, including the rest of the KSL.com team. Unfortunately, I was one of the very few people who were less-than-impressed with Hugh Jackman's take on P.T. Barnum.
Which makes my endorsement of this video particularly noteworthy.
The video is from Lindsey Stirling and features her expert violin skills and a medley of songs from "The Greatest Showman." And it's fantastic.

Have You Seen This? Utah reps make ‘Fresh Prince’ parody to explain laws
In my day, all we had was Schoolhouse Rock! Now we've got Utah representatives rapping to Fresh Prince.Whether you loved the movie or you didn't (and if you didn't, let's form a support group), Stirling's medley of the tunes now familiar to most of us is moving and beautiful. In fact, I may have finally felt some of the magic I wanted to feel during the movie while watching this video. I'm now ready to romantically run around on rooftops and through old, decaying houses.
I guess now you can add me to the list of people who will be listening to songs from "The Greatest Showman" all the time because I plan on playing this video on repeat for a good long while.
