Sydnie Christmas delivered a breathtaking performance at The Lowry, joining forces with The Create Theatre Academy Choir for a powerful medley of A Million Dreams and Come Alive from The Greatest Showman. The moment was nothing short of magical, filled with vocal brilliance and emotional depth that left the audience mesmerized.
Wearing a timeless stage ensemble and exuding quiet confidence, Christmas opened the performance with a gentle, heartfelt tone that immediately set a captivating mood. Her voice carried the emotion of the lyrics with clarity and grace, effortlessly drawing the audience into the world of the song.
As the music swelled, so did her vocal strength. With every note, she built the performance into a stunning crescendo, never losing control or emotional connection. Her transitions between soft, delicate falsetto and powerful, soaring belts were seamless, demonstrating not only technical skill but a deep understanding of the song’s message.
Audience members were quick to react. One could be heard comparing her to Beyoncé—an apt comparison, considering the level of poise and vocal mastery on display. While the choir added a lush backdrop of harmonies and brought energy to the stage, it was Christmas who remained the focal point, holding everyone’s attention from start to finish.
When she reached the final high note, the entire room erupted into applause. People stood, clapped, and cheered, visibly moved by the performance. It wasn’t just about vocal range—it was about connection, storytelling, and the ability to make a familiar song feel brand new.
Originally featured in The Greatest Showman, A Million Dreams has become an anthem of hope and imagination. Performed in the film by Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams, the song captures the innocence of dreaming big and believing in what’s possible. Sydnie Christmas brought that same spirit to life on stage, reminding everyone that dreams—no matter how distant—are worth pursuing.
