Rather than cancel the read-through and risk the film's future, actor and singer Jeremy Jordan stood in for Jackman, providing vocals while Jackman mimed the stage directions to give everyone an idea of what he'd look like.
Greatest Showman: Who Sings "Never Enough" (Why It's Not Rebecca Ferguson) One of the many songs from The Greatest Showman that went viral is "Never Enough", performed on screen (but not sung) by Rebecca Ferguson.
Rebecca Ferguson's voice was dubbed by Loren Allred. Ferguson had studied music and admitted that she can carry a tune but since Jenny Lind, her character, is considered the best singer in the world, dubbing her voice would be in service of the movie.
Did Zac Efron and Zendaya sing in The Greatest Showman?
Listen to Zac Efron and Zendaya sing Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's “Rewrite the Stars” from the forthcoming movie musical The Greatest Showman above. Tony winner Hugh Jackman stars as P.T. Barnum in the film, which features songs by Tony-winning Dear Evan Hansen composers and La La Land Oscar winners Pasek and Paul.

Who actually sang for Zac Efron?
Zac Efron did not sing in the original High School Musical movie, with Drew Seeley providing the singing voice for Troy Bolton. While Efron's vocal range may have been a factor, he himself was not given an explanation for why his voice was not used.
Can Zac Efron sing? He sure can! Although he didn't provide the vocals for the first High School Musical film, he did sing in the second and third films, and he also sang in his role as Link Larkin in Hairspray. Here he is covering Foster the People song 'Pumped Up Kicks' with Taylor Swift in 2012.
But the real-life story of Lind and Barnum was markedly different from the more salacious version in the movie. Lind and Barnum actually toured together for 93 shows to great success, including performances in Canada and Cuba, and it wasn't a romantic scandal that derailed their working relationship.
The belting ballad is actually dubbed by Loren Allred, who made it to the top 20 on season three of The Voice US. On Allred dubbing her vocals, Ferguson told Collider: “She is the most incredible singer. I am an actress and that is what I trained to do at least.
When you get over that and really listen you'll hear that Anne uses a great balance of soft and controlled head voice, as well as incredible cresendo's to full belt chest voice with ease of transition. This is obviously through years of training probably from a young age in singing technique.
I would even say beautiful." And just like that, Lettie Lutz (the fictional name of the real bearded lady, Annie Jones) becomes one of Barnum's star attractions.
Barnum in the movie musical The Greatest Showman. But he almost didn't dance at all. Jackman told Today's Savannah Guthrie that when he was around 11 years old, a teacher noticed that he had talent and suggested he take dance lessons. His father was on board, but his older brother said, “You're a sissy dancer! . . .
“I came to singing late. When I was doing Beauty and the Beast and in my contract they made me have a singing lesson every week,” he explains of his early stage career. “What happened was I was learning on the job … and I kind of developed a voice that was not fully mine. Liz really made me fall in love with singing.
“I came to singing late…. I was learning on the job.” Prior to that, Jackman's performance aspirations hadn't included musicals at all. And still, it was not until he worked on the movie musical “The Greatest Showman”—and with vocal coach Liz Caplan—that he was truly converted.
The couple married in April 1996 and share two children together. Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness are separating after more than 27 years of marriage, ABC News has confirmed.
Allred was eliminated after the first week of the live playoffs, tying for 13th place. In 2014, she worked as a playback singer and member of the recording ensemble for a film musical being developed by the Broadway songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
Allred made it into the finals on Britain's Got Talent and sang her own original song “Last Thing I'll Ever Need.” The performance impressed the Judges, but it wasn't enough to take home the top prize and she finished 9th in the competition.
Singles “Til I Found You” and “This Summer” received positive reviews, Loren also toured her new music, and appeared on tours with Andrea Bocelli and David Foster through 2022.
Lind was uncomfortable with how relentless and tacky Barnum's marketing of her was, and so she split with him and then continued the tour on her own, for nearly a year. Aside from one self-published romantic novel I found on Google Books, there is no indication that Lind and Barnum ever had a romantic relationship.
Lind uses the kiss as her chance to say goodbye and continue her tour without him, as she knows he was returning home. The photo of the two kissing is soon published in newspapers across the country and is soon found by Charity Barnum, impacting her and Barnum's relationship.
Why is Zendaya an outcast in The Greatest Showman?
The first crucial point is that Zendaya's stunt-intensive Anne Wheeler wasn't considered a freak in The Greatest Showman simply because she was Black. While her race was a social barrier and made her spiritually a part of the freak family, it wasn't the sole reason why Anne Wheeler was in a traveling freak show.
Heather Phares of AllMusic defined Tisdale's voice as "pleasant enough" but not "distinctive" while reviewing her debut album Headstrong and added she had "more character singing" as her role in the High School Musical series.
While Zac Efron clearly enjoys his role as an uncle, he is not ready to be a dad. The 35-year-old has grown into more adult roles since he first rose to teen dream fame, and recently played the father of actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the film Firestarter.
However, Efron's recordings of the film's songs were not included in the final cut, and the majority of his parts were sung by Drew Seeley; the Troy Bolton role had been intended for a tenor before Efron's casting and Efron was a baritone. In his subsequent musical films, Efron did his own singing.
