Hugh Jackman opened the Brits with the Greatest Showman performance we deserve
Hugh Jackman opened the 2019 BRIT Awards ceremony with the opening number from his hit film The Greatest Showman.
Although the musical movie was released in 2017, this was the first time Jackman and crew took to the stage of a major award ceremony.
And it was worth the wait.
The energetic routine boasted circus performers in top hats and tails, fire-breathers and a pyramid of backing dancers.
