Theatre for Those Who Can't Cope

Musicals Upon the Screen: Musical Theatre in Film and Television

I have a lot of feelings about musical theatre being adapted into other forms of art... I have a few suggestions for studio execs, a few suggestions for the future of musical movies, and a few suggestions for YOU! To help break down this art form, I have made a few categories (classic I know) Here are my categories for musical movies and TV shows: 1. Original musical movies 2. Stage to screen musical movies 3. Filmed stage musicals 4. Musical TV shows

Death By Repeated Listen: OBC Cast Recordings I Love

5 Shows That I’ve Still Never Seen And May Not Ever Because They Only Live In My Mind And That Is Special, No? 1. Aida 2. In the Heights 3. Next to Normal 4. Bridges of Madison County 5. Amelie
