This video is a bit missed leading in my opinion, yes Jordan was a big part of making it being green lighting. I would say he would be better than Zac Efron, but Jackman was the only reason why it got green light at the end of the day. It was in his interest for many moons. Make no mistake.

@@scottvrichey Yes, "Never Enough" that was actually sung by Loren Allred. The BluRay commentary talks about it. Allred was hired as a stand-in, just like Jeremy was, and actress Rebecca Ferguson was supposed to sing it in the movie. After hearing Allred though, she told the director, "I can sing, but not like that!" and suggested that she lipsync to Allred's vocals. So the two spent weeks together, with Ferguson copying every mannerism down to the veins on Allred's neck. She did an incredible job. The good thing about this story is that Ferguson didn't put her own ego above what's good for the movie. She realized Allred is a much better singer and was willing to put in the extra work required to lipsync. Because of Ferguson and the director, Allred's career was launched.

@@scottvrichey Having seen his video and some other talks it doesn't seem like they ever straight up lied to him. They never said he was getting the role, when he did the demo everything was above board. However it really gets disrespectful when they called him up and asked him to pay for the ticket and obviously a place to stay. It would have been one thing if the movie got greenlit they were going to cast him. That would be him taking a risk and it's part of the business, you win some you lose some. It's the fact that they must have known that he was going there thinking this was his audition, but knew they had never any intention of casting him because Jackman wanted Efron. So really they were just asking him to do them a big favor, and you know what that would have been okay if they had been upfront and honest about it. Him knowing those two guys that he helped do the original demos for, that's a really shitty thing to do a friend. It's why after hearing Witver talk about Lucas film my respect for them grew immensely (no matter what one might thing of their recent output). When asking for a favor they A) say "can you please do us a favor" and B) will remember that you did that favor for them, so as long as you don't bug them about wanting a job. They will find other ways to pay the favor back down the line in some way. At the very least as friends they could have backed him up after he did rewrite the stars, or right after they got the greenlight and in front of everyone say "thanks for helping us and the attempt at the high notes Jeremy we know that you can actually do that part and that you shouldn't really be singing right now because of your voice. We apricate it." I hope that Jackman didn't know about that part of Jeremy flying himself out, didn't know who he was and just thought it was a stand in the guys had brought in with no expectations. Because if he did know, especially if he heard the demos before the presentation. I know Jeremy said he tried to get out of there once he realized what was going on. But Jackman or his friends could have gone straight to him, taken him aside, said thank you. Be man enough to say "you really are a fantastic talent it's just that I've/we've been in talks and part of getting the greenlight was this and getting Efron on board", and reimbursed him for what it cost him to get and be there. Not like Jeremy is a struggling actor who could barley pay his rent, yet for me it's the principle of a thing. Guy did everything required of him and more, making the project happen for Jackman, not so much as a thank you. Because I get it, Efron is a much bigger attraction, he obviously would look great next to Zendaya so even though Efron isn't actually able to sing rewrite the stars without a cracked falsetto like Jeremy and Zendaya can. His looks, charisma, being a bigger star and the fact that he also is a great singer just not as great as Jeremy. In this business pure talent isn't always enough, from an artist perspective you would pick Jeremy. As a business decision if at that time you could get Efron and Zendaya, Jeremy never stood a chance. Rejection is such a big part of the job, but this wasn't a rejection it was: "You know you would really be doing us a big favor" without actually explaining that it would be a favor.

Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman would go on to use his demos as the framework for their official renditions of the songs. You can still hear it in the songs if you go back. Loren Alred and Jeremy recorded demos but Loren was fortunate enough to have her song carry on into the official cut. No credit was given to Jeremy as a demo artist. Truely saddening.

These are both such great perspectives. And also a reminder of just how brutal the entertainment industry is. Everyone has a story and something they want so badly. But even the tremendous amount of deserved success that Jeremy has had is something a hundred others have given every bit of their heart into pursuing, and come up short. That’s why I appreciated this KZread video so much as a reminder of all the people who yearn to tell stories. Edited to add: did the producers of the film really make him fly himself out on his own dime to perform in this demo for free? I know many people would absolutely still kill for that opportunity (including the nameless other people in the room), so I get anyone saying yes.

It’s infuriating that after all that…AFTER ALL THAT…they chose big name stars…and didn’t give Jeremy the recognition he so dearly deserved. It’s so so frustrating

I have watched that video (from The Greatest Showman) dozens of times. His performance, before Hugh Jackman came in, is one of my favorites... over all of the original cast.

As interesting of a story this seems, it’s pretty common when it comes to musicals and whether it’s for stage or screen where they have people do the workshop for it and then they cast someone else for the official production. One of the biggest ones of that happening was wicked where they recast elphaba after the workshop to be played by idina menzel

He feels a deep connection to the song. And did the composers even tell Hugh they had promised the role to Jeremy? Hugh wasn't one of the producers. He wasn't responsible for casting.

I always wondered what was up with all the people in the workshop who gave so much of themselves in that performance but then didn’t make it into the movie. Thanks for sharing this story! It’s too bad that the entertainment industry is so brutal, that you can give everything and not get the thing you want.

I missed his character so much when he left supergirl. When he reprised his character a few times later I was beyond ecstatic. I still think about his performance in Newsies so often, he’s just amazing,

a literal unsung hero. the substitute made of hot glue and toothpicks to keep the project afloat long enough for hugh jackman to steal the show, and the project move forward with other stars. o7 i will probably always remember you as he who stood there so that the greatest showman could become reality.

I still really feel bad for him. He deserves more than what he's gotten from TGSM.

He doesn't need TGSM, he has and continues to do amazing without them

He’s awesome, aww.

We can only hope we see him on the Broadway stage adaptation, if ever. There is no one better; may he have his full circle moment of redemption.

Bravo! I watch that gathering all the time, it’s amazing .

😢WOW this made me sad! I love the movie and he would have been great in it.

Man, this guy is amazing! I watched the video of Hugh taking over and singing this song and I was pretty much sobbing at the end. Hugh was engaging and I felt his emotion in the lyrics and it was moving. That led me to this video and I am disappointed that this guy did not get the part he wanted!!!! I have not seen the movie and I'm not a big Zach Efron fan.....I mean if he's starring or playing a role in anything it doesn't sway me to watch the movie either way. After seeing this....if Jeremy Jordan is going to be in a movie......this will sway my mind to watch it for certain!!!
