“Jenny Lind Touring America?”

Mr. Barnum, why can’t you just put more shows in New York?

Why do you need to tour the country?

Why not?

And a 60-piece orchestra?

Just get the cheapest musicians.

Custom sets? Fireworks? Inside theaters?

That’s genius. Right?

No. Of course not. Mr. Barnum,

theses are the most famous theaters in the country.

They need to pay seats in advance just to book them.

Yeah. I took out a loan.

And we have to pay Jenny in advance?

Mr. Barnum, you’re not gonna see a penny of profit until your…40th show.

You’re risking everything you’ve built here.

How do you think I built it?

Mr. Barnum!

Your attention has been divided long enough.

Our gate is down,

we have more protesters every day.

Just get them back to the show.

They come to see you. Your crazy ideas… your new acts, the unusual.

I’ll be back right after the tour. Okay? Good luck!

Are you...?

Ain’t that a sight for sore eyes?

Couldn’t even say “Hello.”

Or “goodbye.”

Sorry guys, Mr. Barnum is going on tour.

Oh, pull yourself together Carlyle. Don’t you have something else to worry about?

Hey Anne.

Yes, Mr. Carlyle?

Phillip, just Phillip.

Okay, Phillip, what is it?

So, you know, I happened to have two tickets of the play at the theater downtown.

Would I have the privilege to invite you to be my company for the evening?

Theater? I always wanted to go to the theater.

Okay, I will see you this evening.

Phillip, is that you?

Mother. Father.

This is Anne Wheeler.

Hello, Mr. and...

Phillip… have you no shame?

Associating yourself with this Barnum business is one thing…

but parading around with the help?

Anne…

Anne! Anne!

How dare you speak to her like that?

You forgot your place, Phillip.

Mother, if this is my place,

then I don’t want any part of it.

Phillip!

Anne!

They’re small-minded people.

Why would you care with their...

It’s not just them.

You’ve never had somebody look at you the way your parents looked at me.

The way everybody would look at us.

♫ Rewrite the Stars ♫

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

I know you want me

So don't keep saying our hands are tied

You claim it's not in the cards

Fate is pulling you miles away

And out of reach from me

But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide

That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine

Nothing could keep us apart

You'd be the one I was meant to find

It's up to you, and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?

Maybe the world could be ours

Tonight

You think it's easy

You think I don't want to run to you

But there are mountains

And there are doors that we can’t walk through

I know you're wondering why

Because we‘re able to be just you and me

Within these walls

But when we go outside

You‘re going to wake up and see that

it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars

How can you say you'll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart

And I’m not the one you were meant to find

It's not up to you, it's not up to me

When everyone tells us what we can be

How can we rewrite the stars?

Say that the world can be ours

Tonight

All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you

So just give me all of you

It feels impossible (it's not impossible)

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine?

Nothing can keep us apart

'Cause you are the one I was meant to find

It's up to you and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

And why don't we rewrite the stars?

Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

But I can‘t have you

We're bound to break and my hands are tied
