I'm glad you enjoyed Greatest Showman. I love it and have probably watched it over a hundred times. It's one of those movies that is so sentimental and sweet, and deals in such broad strokes and archetypes, that I think if someone isn't in the mood for what is essentially a fairy tale, then it'll rub them the wrong way. (Thankfully you guys were in the mood.) This was apparently a passion project for Hugh Jackman, as he wanted to get this made for years. Hopefully you don't get too disappointed when researching the events of the movie. In short, the movie is only *very* loosely based on reality. It's basically the most idealized version of P.T. Barnum. In fact, that was probably the biggest criticism people had of the movie -- how flattering its depiction was of him, when in real life he was less than perfect. I personally had no issues with the liberties taken, since it's clearly not a documentary. As far as the singing, I think all the actors did their own, except for Rebecca Ferguson, who played Jenny Lind. Even though Ferguson wanted to sing (and has apparently attended music school), the filmmakers decided they wanted something else, so they had Loren Allred do all of Jenny Lind's vocal tracks. (By the way, Rebecca Ferguson also played Ilsa Faust in the later Mission Impossible movies.)

I love the message on “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This and Rocky Horror/Little Shop of Horrors have that theme. My favorite song is “This is Me.”
