Barbershop Chorus Sings A Medley Of Tunes From The Greatest Showman

The talented ensemble of the Westminster Chorus performs an incredible barbershop-style medley of songs from The Greatest Showman.

The film was released in 2017 and starred Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams. It told the story behind P.T. Barnum and how this showman created the Barnum & Bailey Circus. The music featured in the film because an instant classic.

Today, the Westminster Chorus is singing and dancing to two of the popular songs, ‘Come Alive’ and ‘Now On.’

“From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight
Tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on”

Members of the Westminster Chorus truly come alive as they dance all across the stage to this show tune medley. This upbeat performance made an impression at the Barbershop Harmony Society's 2019 International Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. Just listen as they belt out these powerful lyrics from The Greatest Showman.

“Come alive, come alive
Go and ride your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified”

There’s no doubt that these men have a gift for performing. And the passion and joy on their faces during this medley is apparent.

Even though this type of performance takes a lot of time and practice, Westminster Chorus pulled it off flawlessly. I hope we can look forward to more barbershop medleys like this in the future.
