- Barnum has went on tour with famous singer Jenny Lind leaving his daughters and wife behind. As Charity misses her husband she sings about how his absence has affected her and foreshadows how it will soon affect his circus.
- After protesters burned down the circus, Barnum goes to the bar. His crew comes and calls him out for it. Barnum sings "From Now On" to symbolize him changing and keeping his promises. To me, this is Barnum showing that he's gonna change from the fame hungry man he had become to the man who just wants to entertain people.
