This project created the first English-language theater production in Azerbaijan of The Greatest Showman. The goal of the project was to increase cultural education among the country's youth, improve English language skills among artists and increase the level of knowledge about the modern culture of the musical.
More than 40 performers participated in the musical, which was attended by 269 people. An additional troupe of 12 main characters were trained in literary English. Due to the success of the musical, the theatre decided to perform more English-speaking shows, including a children's show.
