I love the subtle detail of P.T. not drinking nearly as much as Philip. Notice that before Barnum offers him a drink, Philip is already a little tipsy, he is talking a little slurred and he is drinking out of a flask. Then at the bar, every time they take a shot, Carlyle's glass is nearly full while Phineas' is either half full or nearly empty and he keeps covering it by either gesturing in a way that keeps Philip's attention away from it or just turning away while drinking. Once he even pours him a glass (that Carlyle refuses) and doesn't pour one for himself. Then he straight up just doesn't take a shot and leaves it on the piano while Philip does. He is buttering him up by getting him drunk enough to go for a crazy idea like that.
The only time he drinks a full shot glass is at the end of the bar scene where he and Phillip both down four full shots. And you can tell that because as Phineas talks about giving Phillip a 7% cut, the bartender sets out 8 glasses and fills them all up equally full.
@@Weretyu7777 Yeah, and that's because P.T. knows he is closing the deal. Once Philip is willing to negotiate money, he knows he won him over and he can celebrate/doesn't need to stay sharp anymore. And the barman is clearly in on the plan because he not only pours less for Barnum but also looks at him for confirmation if he should pour more shots as Philip gathers his stuff. I absolutely love this scene.
Did anyone else notice that when Phillip is singing the second verse and chorus, it actually sounds and looks like he's hiding emotion? He does a good job keeping up a front, but there are a few expressions and tones of voice that let on the real pain and turmoil he's actually feeling. He doesn't want to admit that he's actually not happy in his current life. Barnum sees that and goes into the bridge. That acting was done SO well!!!
The bartender is the smoothest of the the three considering he has to catch their drink, clean up their mess, and stay out of their way while they’re dancing. He does it all without even breaking a sweat.
If I could make an animation of this song I'd add the bartender because of the extra sound effects and the fact he was the choreographer of this scene.
This scene picks up so many things I love about musicals and stage plays. It mixes the over the top presentation of musical theater with practical storytelling. Characters are interacting & progressing the story but cranks up the characters thoughts & actions to the max. Philip constantly puts on & takes off his coat & hat, showing his indecision to accept or deny the offer, Barnum shows his play for theatrics with flamboyant moves, jumping on tables & using distractions to hide things like the fact he isn't drinking nearly as much & even that he's not playing the piano. Barnum knows when to keep the drinks coming & when to hold back, all the while luring Philip into signing up. And then there's the bartender who pops in to bring some comedy & elevate the spectacle & atmosphere as people are dancing on the counter & chairs. It's just a wonderful scene from top to bottom. How anyone can settle for a jukebox musical is beyond me. You lose all the character, the flair, the intimacy & coherent storytelling when a song isn't tailor made for the story being told & is just something recognizable that's stitched in haphazardly for a cheap pop.
The only situation I like jukebox musicals, as an amateur actor, is in amateur productions. Some of the people i've worked with just don't have time to produce original stuff, and so whilst i've rewritten songs for people before, it's still the same song.
Actually, Carlyle had to pay only the last drinks, and it was because Barnum started giving money to the bartender to help him with the coreography and the previous drinks (he was continuously throuwing money at him during the whole song)
@@ZoeyaEstqHe also was fed full shots comparatively in order to get him to go for the idea and negotiate poorly. By the end, he probably feels smart not knowing he got played.
personally i wouldve been happy if zac efron (phillip) was the main singer for the rest of the songs in the film. i prefer it over hugh jackman's (no offense to hugh lol its still good)
The staging and cinematography for this scene is just top tier. Coordinating with the pacing of the song is masterful, and the choreographer and sound designer deserve so many awards.
notice that Hugh pays the bartender to tip the stool for him to use to jump on a table, then uses it after a little foot tap to get down. Contrast it with Zac who jumps up himself, does a better foot dance, then jumps off on his own. Hugh's character is "training" him in this scene as a protégé.
Looks like each man had eight shots. How are they not slurring their words by the end of this?! 😅 Seriously though, that is some mad talent, dancing singing and acting, by both men. Great pleasure to watch!
My guess is that the shots they are drinking are either juice or colored water so then they don't get drunk on set. Or it is a low alcohol drink that wouldn't even affect them.
Most of P.T's shots were thrown away. You can see that when he pours himself and Philip a shot, Philip's glass is nearly completely full and P.T.'s barely has anything in it. Not to mention he left his shot on the piano, and he does some extravagant throws and moves while doing the other shots with Philip. P.T.'s mostly pretending to drink but staying sober so he can use Philip being drunk to his advantage.
While this is filming and they are likely drinking apple juice or something, in my experience, shots of alcohol take more time than the minutes of this song to truly kick in.
Years later, I still can’t believe Hugh & Zac go from sharing the Oscar stage in ‘09 during The Musical Is Back segment to sharing the screen in this beautiful movie!
I haven't heard this song in 4, maybe 5 years, but I still have the whole thing memorized. That's what I get for listening to musical soundtracks on loop for hours on end, I guess.
My favourite part of this song is the shot glasses clinking and the drinks being part of the song and also Zac Efrons character just reacting exactly how you would react to someone singing at you. Kinda like: what you doing? O-okay? The drinks are in sync with yur singing, what?! Is the bartender in on this??!!
The Greatest Showman is one of the most inspiring and beautiful movie I have ever seen! The music, the singing, the story line! It lights me up, inside and outside, every time I see it! 💖
Love how everyone talks about the bartender. This guy is really standing out. Such a small part on screen but he's the good that people can't help but notice how smooth he is.
The bloopers from this scene are hilarious. Apparently they used a bitter tea for the first few takes that made it nearly impossible to continue singing through.
Depends on the person. I can drink a lot and still remain cognizant what others would be stumbling over themselves for the same amount. They didn’t have the means to purify water back then like we do now. So they are used to heavy alcohol.
If you pay attention to P.T. Barnum, he either has super tiny shots or he throws the shots out so he'll be more sober while convincing a more intoxicated Phillip to join his circus lol
Daniel is an absolute goddamned legend in this scene. They're all amazing but he envisioned it, the entire beat that underlines the movements and the style...ugh. The man has a gift.
I was watching this with a family member and said "like why not hire the bartender? you have to admit he has stile. he could work on choreography." my family member looked at me and was like "Right?!?! They really should."
ya do realise alcohol takes a bit to actually kick in right? its one of the reasons why its so dangerous.. if you drink a lot really fast you will feel fine for like half an hour to around 40 minutes and then ya go from fine to shit faced in no time at all..
Right here, right now I put the offer out I don't want to chase you down I know you see it You run with me And I can cut you free Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in So trade that typical for something colorful And if it's crazy, live a little crazy You can play it sensible, a king of conventional Or you can risk it all and see Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride It'll take you to the other side 'Cause you can do like you do Or you can do like me Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly It'll take you to the other side Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen So thanks, but no I think I'm good to go 'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in Now I admire you, and that whole show you do You're onto something, really it's something But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells I'll have to leave that up to you Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play 'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride I don't need to see the other side So go and do like you do I'm good to do like me Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine I don't need to see the other side Now is this really how you like to spend your days? Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little Just let me give you the freedom to dream And it'll wake you up and cure your aching Take your walls and start 'em breaking Now that's a deal that seems worth taking But I guess I'll leave that up to you Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly So what percentage of the show would I be taking? Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime Fifteen I'd do eight Twelve Maybe nine Ten Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride To the other side So if you do like I do So if you do like me Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly We're going to the other side So if you do like I do (To the other side) So if you do like me (We're going to the other side) 'Cause if we do we're going to the other side We're going to the other side
Can we just appreitiate this bartender for a moment he does the bartending for all bar seenz and interacts with them perfectly.
And the bearded lady
He is the choreographer
I am the 100th like :)
I normally dont do this but seeing the word "seenz" just makes me angry so...
Scenes****
He's named Daniel Cloud, an absulut dance and film legend if you ask me
This bartender is a legend
Of course it is........
Yea!
@@MissHik ?
Fun Fact: The bartender actually choreographed this whole scene.

Phillip shouldn’t make deals when he’s drunk
i love you for picking that upp, because it crossed my mind but i didn't connect the dots
You my friend have a sharp eye for detail
"I live among the swells, and we dont pick up peanut shells" is such an underrated bar in this song
When Anne swings infront of Carlyle, the 4 notes are playing the melody to Rewrite The Stars.
There are SO many hidden gems in this masterpiece
Right??? And it ha such a nostalgic feeling
I never noticed that
I can't unhear it now

You write good words
The glass clicking, finger tapping, broom - the sound effects are the best!
I love that Barnum asks if he can buy him a drink and once they're done, Carlyle ends up being the one who pays.
Exactly
Bro wants to brag that he lives a high life he can pay just saying
It always makes me wonder if he did intend to pay
Actually, Carlyle had to pay only the last drinks, and it was because Barnum started giving money to the bartender to help him with the coreography and the previous drinks (he was continuously throuwing money at him during the whole song)
@@ZoeyaEstqHe also was fed full shots comparatively in order to get him to go for the idea and negotiate poorly. By the end, he probably feels smart not knowing he got played.
The two voices is so amazing together
So true
personally i wouldve been happy if zac efron (phillip) was the main singer for the rest of the songs in the film. i prefer it over hugh jackman's (no offense to hugh lol its still good)
The staging and cinematography for this scene is just top tier. Coordinating with the pacing of the song is masterful, and the choreographer and sound designer deserve so many awards.
Did you know the bartender did the choreography?
The bartender is clearly the star of this song. He has no lines to speak, and yet he is the best.
Not only the in his part but in the choreography he wrote
This song is so much fun to sing, it just has such a good rhythm.
I really really like your username
notice that Hugh pays the bartender to tip the stool for him to use to jump on a table, then uses it after a little foot tap to get down. Contrast it with Zac who jumps up himself, does a better foot dance, then jumps off on his own. Hugh's character is "training" him in this scene as a protégé.
The bartender heard the beat and thought "I shall help".
They don’t do movies like this anymore.
Precisely... It's very rare to have such a good movie with good songs
@@championsummaryreview4580 I agree
This was the last top tier movie musical
@@manuelorozco7760I disagree. In the Heights, West Side Story and Tick Tick Boom.
@@fredererpower I mean they were good. And so was Wonka. But they are not on this movie’s level
The fact that , when u grow up and feel the lyrics, it eally hits you hard then you realise its really the greatest show ever its something else
This song has been stuck in my head every time I do anything remotely drama or theatre related
Looks like each man had eight shots. How are they not slurring their words by the end of this?! 😅

the bartender serving the shots is the choreographer who taught this dance to Zac and Hugh for scene of the movie
While this is filming and they are likely drinking apple juice or something, in my experience, shots of alcohol take more time than the minutes of this song to truly kick in.
IKR I'm not onlly the one who was surprised by that .
ok i need to know that everyone gives respect to the bartender,please tell me you all do.Oh and the piano played ITSELF!
I just rewatched it and you’re right. I thought you meant the sounds didn’t match the keys being pressed but it literally plays itself lmao
My guess is that it's actually a player piano, which did exist back in Barnum's day I believe.
I dearly would love to see the outtakes for this scene...its gotta be hilarious because of how precise they had to be to pull it off.
The more I rewatch this, the more I appreciate the bartender. That man is so fun to watch.
Bartender mvp..
*after they leave, bartender prepares for the next 2 customers who's going through a hard time and singing about love *
Years later, I still can’t believe Hugh & Zac go from sharing the Oscar stage in ‘09 during The Musical Is Back segment to sharing the screen in this beautiful movie!
Interesting to see how Barnum avoids drinking too much while making Carlyle drink to make him more open to suggestion
Fastest sweep ever seen. Also that guy created the whole scene. Legit wrote it
That bartender was auditioning so hard and Barnum just ignored him.
The piano was playing on its own 2:36
Yea it was comm o n to have piano that work kinda like a big music box
This is so underrated in this movie this is my favorite song scene and song
1:49 I honestly love zach’s voice around that part
I haven't heard this song in 4, maybe 5 years, but I still have the whole thing memorized. That's what I get for listening to musical soundtracks on loop for hours on end, I guess.
That’s amazing 🎉❤😊
Same!!😊
THIS IS FOR SURE MY NUMBER ONE FAV SONG IN THE MOVIE!! Close second is definitely FROM NOW ON!! They actually prolly switch places on the daily lmfao
my fav is this is me
This is my favorite song of the greatest showman!😊😊😊
P.T. Barnum: " Can I buy you a drink? "
Me: please don't
My brain: THAT WOULD BE NICE
Hamilton?
@Riddle-Me-This53902 YES!

one of the best scenes i ever had the pleasure to witness
This is my fav song and part in the whole movie. There is something hypnotic about it…
I want a mega musical with Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Johnny Depp, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland and many more.
fan service: the musical.
im in
Imagine the budget for the paychecks though. That many incredible actors who are going to want to get paid.
Do Andrew and Tom sing tho

This song slaps, To see Zac’s days from High school musical is crazy. Also all The Songs slap.
This was my one of my favourite song in this movie when I little and still is 😭❤️
I love the greatest Showman it's one of my favorite movies of all time😌😌
YESSSSSS THEY INCLUDED THE SCENE WITH ZENDAYA
Notice how the background piano music continues, even though P. T. stopped playing.🐢
Haunted piano
2:51 the bartender: another one?
Bro these guys would be forgetting how to walk with how fast they were taking them shots
Depends on the person. I can drink a lot and still remain cognizant what others would be stumbling over themselves for the same amount. They didn’t have the means to purify water back then like we do now. So they are used to heavy alcohol.
This made me laugh out loud 😂 it’s 4am snd I’m tired so that’s probably why
If you pay attention to P.T. Barnum, he either has super tiny shots or he throws the shots out so he'll be more sober while convincing a more intoxicated Phillip to join his circus lol

Someone give this bartender a raise!
The bartender carried the whole scene.
Well even when singing alone, this song is still so good.
Favorite songs ❤ 2024 who's listening.. dangg the song Soo gooddd ❤
The bartender is by far the best character silent yet skilled
I love it because at the end you can actually see it in Phillip's face when it stops being all about business for him
Anyone notice the piano keys moving on thier own at 2:33
A TRULY WISE PERSON USES FEW WORDS- IMAGINE THIS WORDS in this song !!!!!!
This song is just so good.
I love how the bartender doesn’t like them dancing at his bar, but yet later starts dancing and playing along
I love this song!
"Can I buy you a drink" and then Philip ends up paying for it lol
Honestly one of the best musical moments in cinema
What i love the most from thos scene is the bartender😂 He's got such a good flare as bartender😂
Cool. I need to watch the whole movie ❤x😊
I was watching this with a family member and said "like why not hire the bartender? you have to admit he has stile. he could work on choreography." my family member looked at me and was like "Right?!?! They really should."
bruh that bartender needs a raise💀
The fun part of all of this is that you can describe this movie perfectly as "Troy Bolton and Wolverine run a circus" and I'm here for it
I've never watched this movie, but I love this song so much I'm gonna watch it
Bartender is the unsung hero in this scene
This always reminds me of present me talking to old me😂
Sameee
that bartender is the MVP of the song
I love this this is one of my favorite songs favorite scenes of the whole movie. I love it. I love it. OK I’m re-watching this movie. I have to now.🍿🥤
Damn, the choreography!
Really impressive to keep dancing after all those shots 😂
before I knew it was from a movie, I thought the song was about the personalities of one person who ultimately wants to feel freedom
Honestly the bartender took over the show and carried half this song
It gives me so many memories after years.
I love that Zack is speechless at the end😂❤️
That's a really good bartender tho tbh
fun fact Jeramy Jordan was supposed to plays Zac Efron‘s part, but the Director feared his voice would overpower Hugh jackman’s voice
Love Jeremy Jordan but i think it worked out!
Doesn't he voice, Hugh's character?
This song always reminds me of my behavior students
That bartender doesn't get paid enough for this
Other than using the worst sweeping technique, this bartender is Perfect
Piano is playing itself. Hugh never touches a single key
Wolverine meets high school musical be like- 😂
So true
I was surprised at there movement after taking those shots
Magic I guess?
ya do realise alcohol takes a bit to actually kick in right? its one of the reasons why its so dangerous.. if you drink a lot really fast you will feel fine for like half an hour to around 40 minutes and then ya go from fine to shit faced in no time at all..
it wasn't real alcohol
I remember watching this movie like so long ago
When my dad watched this scene he was amazed-👁️👄👁️
Might be my favorite song from the movie, minus the titular one of course
I love this movie 🎥🍿!!
The chemistry between Hackman and Enron is incredible
Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you
Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime
Fifteen
I'd do eight
Twelve
Maybe nine
Ten
Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
So if you do like me
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side
Anyone else notice that the keys on the piano are moving after Hugh stops “playing”
