I desperately want to hear all the demos of Jeremy doing the music!

[@Anna-q9k6w]

There's not the demos, but there's a video from when he did a concert and he sang some cuts from it, it's on yt. Just search something like "Jeremy Jordan 'the day I saved the greatest showman'"

I will always be upset that Jeremy never got to play Philip 😭😭😭

[@robmarth2226]

I understand many people got bitter after hearing Jeremy's POV, but it is incomplete story. Zac Efron had been involved from the very beginning of the project, even before the script was completed or this executive hearing sessions (Sept 2016), his role negotiations was in June 2016. However, Zac wasn't able to join this session and Jeremy was invited to cover for him. Somehow Jeremy got the impression he would get casted as Phillip. It's everyone's fault really, Jeremy expected too much and the project didn't communicate clear enough.

Good tech

[@Mr21scott]

So excuse my stupidity but how exactly did he 'save' it? Are they saying that if someone else other than Hugh hadn't been there to sing the songs that the execs might've just said 'oh forget it' and not made the movie?

It s a greenlight day. There were suppose to have 3 singers sing for man songs for the events. The fate of production will be decide that day if they think it worth to invest, i think Paul said in interview one vote already turn down the production before the event start and there almost dont hv enough money for the rest to pull . And all the singers including Huge got accidents and cant sing. Jeremy himself lost his voice few day prior and need to inject steriod to be able to sing his part. Only to find out once he broad the plane that other 2 singers also cant sings. And the only person who know the song and can sing all of them is Jeremy. So he 'sang' the damn whole thing by himself. Cover everyone there. Without any rehearses. This not to mention some other details such as flight is not paid, ect. If this isnt save the day. I dont know what is.
