We had a bunch of big budget musicals in just the last year or two. West Side Story, Dear Evan Hansen, Annette, Tick Tick Boom, In The Heights, Cyrano, probably a couple others I'm forgetting.
Huh? Musicals are huge these days. They're doing Hadestown yet again in my area, then there's all those teen ones like Be More Chill and Evan Hansen. I believe the newer ones are just gearing towards a younger audience with the highschool stories. A recent favorite of mine is 'The guy who didn't like musicals' I expected it to be shit but I did laugh.
they are still massively popular. Music is the number one way to convey emotions and story.
I think they take a lot of effort and craftsmanship, and it's hard to find in hollywood weirdly enough or they don't greenlight those projects. So, I think the solution is us indie filmmakers revive it as well as other dying art forms like 2D animation and claymation. it's up to us to make the new content. 😀
Back to the Future: The Musical is an Olivier Award-winning stage musical with music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard and a book by Bob Gale, adapted from the original screenplay by Robert Zemeckis and Gale.
The musical originally was slated to make its world première in London's West End in 2015,[1] the year to which the trilogy's characters traveled in Part II.[2] However, after director Jamie Lloyd left the production in August 2014, due to "creative differences" with Zemeckis, the production's release date was pushed to a 2016 opening.[3] In May 2019, it was announced the show would receive its world premiere at Manchester Opera House in February 2020, ahead of an expected West End transfer.
On 17 May 2019, it was announced the show would receive its world premiere beginning previews from 20 February, with an opening night on 11 March 2020, five years later than originally planned,[26] at the Manchester Opera House and then a West End transfer.[27] After several weeks of performances, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Manchester Opera House posted to its website "We regret to announce that from this evening (Monday, 16 March 2020) the Manchester Opera House has closed in light of official government advice. All remaining performances of Back to the Future in Manchester were cancelled and the show did not reopen until it transferred to the West End." West End theatre is mainstream professional theatre staged in the large theatres in and near the West End of London.[1] Along with New York City's Broadway theatre, West End theatre is usually considered to represent the highest level of commercial theatre in the English-speaking world.
In June 2022, it was announced on the official social media pages that the show would open on Broadway, with the 2023 season being the target for opening.[37] It was announced on October 21, 2022 that the show will open on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre in Summer 2023.
They're still big (for you) on stage
The problem is not many of them make a successful transition to film
What's the Cinemaphile approved musical list?
Les Mis, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and what else?
>Dr. Steel released his Read-A-Long album two years earlier >Some Professional Nerds feel threatened by him and use their clout to retroactively do it first.
What did Dr Steel do to piss these people off? Was it the fascist aesthetic?
Gay people previously had to have their little "things". That was all that drove these. Now that gays are out of the closet they don't need their secret things any more so no need for musicals
Because the hammer is my penis
musicals are gay
No u

but all those musicals suck
as a normalhomosexual, I unironically enjoyed Dr. Horrible
things are so different now...
It’s weird remembering when stuff like this was sort of revolutionary

I wonder why he left.
Bollywood has drained away part of their target audience.
They stopped making good ones but sometimes they do.
The LGBT co-opted them. They used to be for adults and the general audiences.
>co-opted them
Musicals were forced onto them by people who thought it was gay to watch musicals.
Nothing gay about casting couch in De Palma's Phantom.
Too hard to make.
Why choreograph dances, record songs, pay actors for all their time when you could just crank out a copy paste capeshit film?
Low rewatchability if a song sucks
This is a great reason. Plot is based on the outline of the song unless its non-diegetic.
For me it's Chicago, a musical version of Anatomy of a Murder
is this any good? always felt kinda reddit to me, but then again, what doesn't nowadays
>Reddit
>Whedon
It checks out
whedon is kill so no sequel. i feel sad
there's a lot of musicals these days, unfortunately they all suck and take themselves too seriously. Evil Dead the musical was the last one I liked.
meant to link some of them, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea1QkvMJcsA
I don't know but the very brief time when Felicia Day was popular was one of the worst periods in human history
