7 Ways to Resist This Week

Nothing says Christmas quite like a big Hollywood production stuffed with elaborate costumes, studio sets, big stars, circus acts, and musical numbers to original tunes from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriting wunderkind behind the music of La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen. Hugh Jackman stars as a lovable version of the historically problematic P.T. Barnum, the businessman, con man, and creator of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. Michelle Williams costars as Charity Barnum while Zac Efron plays the circus's producer who falls for a trapeze artist played by Zendaya.
