The Greatest Showman is a fictionalized musical re-telling of the story of P.T. Barnum (played by Hugh Jackman), an entertainer and founder of Barnum’s American Museum and the Barnum & Bailey Circus. The film features an award-winning original soundtrack and follows Barnum on his quest to create “The Greatest Show on Earth” with the help of his wife Charity (Michelle Williams), playwright Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron), and his crew of performers that includes trapeze artist Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) and Swedish singer Jenny Lind (Rebecca Ferguson). The movie also features some of Barnum’s famous “freak” performers like the real-life dwarf entertainer General Tom Thumb (Sam Humphrey) and a fictional bearded lady, Lettie Lutz (Keala Settle).

The original soundtrack for The Greatest Showman won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for This Is Me as well as the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, and the movie itself is the fifth-highest grossing live-action musical of all time. If you have yet to experience this imaginative story for yourself, then you can now stream it online by signing up for Disney+ for $8 per month or a cheaper $80 per year. However, we recommend that you upgrade to the Disney Bundle and get Disney+, ad-supported Hulu, and ESPN+ for $14 per month, saving you 25%.

F1 Brazilian GP live stream: Watch Formula 1 for free
Lewis Hamilton (44) driving for Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team during The Australian Formula One Grand Prix Race on April 02, 2023, at The Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park, Australia.

The F1 Championship continues with the Brazilian Grand Prix starting soon. It's going to be an exciting race with Max Verstappen sure to want to build on his victory in Mexico last week. If you want to see the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream, there's a particularly great way to do so and even better -- it won't cost you a cent. Intrigued to know more? Here's all you need to know about how to watch the thrilling race.
Watch the free Brazilian GP live stream
The Brazilian Grand Prix is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but devastating for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free-to-watch at home. It's only natural that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe and legal to do with a VPN like NordVPN. Just install it, choose to the location you wish to connect to, then fire up broadcast. The free streams are ORF in Austria or RTL Zwee in Luxembourg.

Unfortunately, there isn't a free Brazilian GP live stream for residents of other countries. Elsewhere, folks will need to tune in through a local broadcast partner. The race is available on ESPN in the United States, and the best way to tune in is through fuboTV, which offers a one-week free trial to new customers In the United Kingdom, it's available on Sky Sports F1, and over in Canada it's being broadcast in English through TNS and in French through RDS. There are some other options available as well -- below we'll talk you through the different ways you can tune in locally in the United States in more detail.

In an era filled with a wide array of streaming services, Disney tried to stand out by offering three different services at a single price point. Two of those services, Hulu and Disney Plus, offer chiefly fictional content. The third offering, though, is the ESPN streaming service known as ESPN Plus, which many users may have without even realizing, thanks to the Disney bundle. ESPN Plus gives you access to an array of documentaries, live sports, and original content, but all of that content doesn't do much good if you have absolutely no idea how to access it.
