Why I Love Movie Musicals
How can you not love movie musicals? They've been a staple of American entertainment since the 1930's! Movie musicals introduced the world to the kind of entertainment before only seen on the stage. With the advent of the television, it brought this quality entertainment right into our living rooms.
Each year as a child I would look forward to the annual showings of my favorite movie musicals like The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music. Of course this was in the days before VHS and DVD's, so getting to see these great films was truly a special treat. The whole family would gather around the TV with treats like popcorn (Jiffy Pop!) and ice cream and we'd enjoy these classics.

- It seems like most new musicals opening are derrived from a movie or from popular culture somewhere. Eg in London we have
Singin' in the Rain (movie)
Shrek (movie)
Ghost (movie)
Wizard of Oz (movie)
Matilda (movie)
What with The Body Guard coming soon...I can't help but long for an original opening!
