Abstract

As a Hollywood musical film released at the end of 2017, The Greatest Showman has earned more than 400 million dollars at the box office worldwide with its outstanding original songs and dance elements. It is a Hollywood musical film with a relatively good box office performance in recent years. Global research on musical drama has increased dramatically in recent decades, gradually forming a complete research system. However, it has not yet attracted enough attention in terms of artistic creation techniques of musicals. This article intends to analyze three aspects: the overall research of global musicals, the study of The Greatest Showman drama aesthetics, and the integration of musical, film, and media. Taking The Greatest Showman as an example explores the historical development of musicals and the dramatic art in movies and provides practical, theoretical sources for the creation and development of musicals.
