The music and choreography of "The Circus King" are wonderful. Among them, Barnum and partner Philip bargained in a dance scene in the pub. The bar waiter, the bar counter and the glasses of the two were cleverly used. The rhythm of music and dance echoed with the flashing lights of the bar. Human temptations and games appear relaxed, humorous and dynamic. A scene where Philip confessed his heart to the air swing girl Ann Wheeler, using the props of the air swing to arrange a dance that blends between the air and the ground. Ann Wheeler’s sudden lift-off and Philip’s mid-air fall to the ground Both are used as supplementary language for audiovisual, strongly suggesting the disparity between the identities and social backgrounds of Philip and Ann Wheeler. The lightness and freedom of Ann Wheeler flying through the air is also a metaphor for her ideal state after she is full of frustration and doubts about herself.
The nine original episodes of "The Circus King" and several scenes of sound and light gathered, and the magnificent choreography even abandoned the theme, and made the plot serve the song and dance in a stately manner. However, the proposition of the biographies is too broad. The length of time and the depth of thought involved obviously constitute the two poles of mutual restraint with the poeticization of singing and dancing.
