It feels awkwardly risky posting this in the wake of #MeToo, but isn’t that the point? That something like this shouldn’t be controversial?

My sister dragged me out to see The Greatest Showman the other week, and I am SO glad she did; I unashamedly adore it, and we even went back to see it again together a week later (by which time I’d practically memorised the soundtrack, which I actually went home and bought after the first
