Essential Albums
- This edition of the soundtrack to Michael Gracey’s fiercely upbeat P.T. Barnum biopic pairs the movie versions of the songs with instrumentals so you can recapture the film’s magic in the privacy of your own shower/bedroom/car. The original soundtrack was a chart-topper in multiple continents, and much of its appeal lies in its variety: These empowerment anthems draw on a kaleidoscope of genres, including dance-pop, hip-hop, arena rock and folk. Just as importantly, composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul knit everything together with choruses fit to burst through big-top roofs—not least on the Golden Globe-winning R&B-pop of “This Is Me” and impassioned piano ballad “Never Enough”.
- Ben Platt, as the titular hypersensitive teen, artfully carries the show in the debut musical scored by La La Land’s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Emotionally authentic strings-and-guitar-propelled songs—particularly the out-of-control Act 1 finale, “You Will Be Found”—drive a story about loneliness that leads to an internet-shaking misunderstanding. The soaring “For Forever” and righteous, rock-driven anger of Rachel Bay Jones (as Ben’s mother, in “Good for You”) help give this musical the emotional heft of a great pop album.

About Justin Noble Paul
An Oscar-winning lyricist and Tony- and Emmy-winning composer/lyricist, Justin Paul is known almost exclusively for the output of his songwriting partnership with Benj Pasek. After meeting as fledgling musical theater majors in the mid-2000s, the pair made their Broadway debut with A Christmas Story: The Musical in 2012. Quickly building a reputation for heartfelt lyrics and both wistful and rousing melodies, the duo won their first Oscar for "City of Stars" from La La Land and their first Tony and Grammy Awards for Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen, both in 2017. In another first, they made their debut at the top of the Billboard 200 in 2018 with the soundtrack to the film The Greatest Showman, which featured their original songs. The team completed the EGOT in 2024 with an Emmy for their song "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" from season three of Only Murders in the Building.
