‘This Is Me’ From ‘The Greatest Showman’ Is an Anthem for Outcasts; Variety, January 4, 2018

Jon Burlingame, Variety; ‘This Is Me’ From ‘The Greatest Showman’ Is an Anthem for Outcasts

"Oscar and Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“La La Land,” “Dear Evan Hansen”) wrote nine songs for “The Greatest Showman,” starring Hugh Jackman as 19th-century circus entrepreneur P.T. Barnum, but one is grabbing the most attention (including Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations): “This Is Me.”

The song, which was introduced to audiences early via the movie’s trailer, appears to have a future as an anthem for the marginalized, disenfranchised, the bullied and the outcast. And in a year when “diversity” is on everyone’s minds and lips, that means it could gain traction during awards season."
