This one woman opera show, fact checks "The Greatest Showman" movie, and that the real reason Jenny Lind (also known as the "The Swedish Nightingale") quit the tour. When Jenny Lind came to America, to tour with "The Greatest Showman", P.T. Barnum, she witnessed a nation torn apart over slavery. She embarked on headline-grabbing tour that shared the spotlight with a political maelstrom. Jenny Lind was uncomfortable with Barnum's relentless marketing of her and his questionable moral compass, or lack there of. Eavesdrop on Jenny's final, brave confrontation of PT Barnum and enjoy some operatic gems from Jenny Lind. Come witness a part of HER-story!
