FANS of one of the most popular films of the last 12 months are invited to enjoy a sing-a-long to a soundtrack.

Darlington Hippodrome is to host sing-a-long-a The Greatest Showman on Saturday, May 11 from the producers of sing-a-long-A Sound of Music and Grease.

After it wowed audiences across the country, this smash hit new film comes to Darlington Hippodrome complete with on-screen lyrics, a live host and an interactive fun pack so everyone can join in.

Every performance starts with a sing-a-long-a host who warms up the audience, trains them how to interact with the movie using the contents of their free props bag and heckle in all the right places as well as judge the fancy dress competition.

Ben Freedman, the show's producer, said: “Sing-a-long-a The Greatest Showman is much more than just a film – it is an event, an interactive experience and most definitely the most fun you can have with a top hat on.

"It is a totally different way to enjoy this new smash hit movie."

There will be two shows on the day at 2pm and 7pm.

The Greatest Showman was written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon and stars Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson.

It was released in the US in December 2017 and grossed over $434m worldwide, making it the fifth-highest grossing live-action musical of all time.

The music for the film has also been rerecorded by the likes of Pink, Kelly Clarkson and James Arthur.
