Set in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, the film tells the story of a Jewish acting group putting on a musical comedy play while chaos and violence happens around them.
Very loosely based on the story of 19th Century showman and impresario P.T. Barnum played with flawless agility and sheer charisma by Hugh Jackman and his rise to prominence, this musical adaptation has all the right elements for a modern cinematic musical.
