I love musicals, just saw the adaption of Anastasia and loved it. Just can’t beat music, singing and dancing!

I saw "Hello Dolly" after watching "Wall-e" Since little Wall-e watches the film completely awestruck.

I called out while watching with a family member "What is that film he's watching? I need to see it now!" haha

What a feast for the eyes it was, I could not believe the scale of "Hello Dolly" the amount of dancers on screen. The costumes and music were stunning.

I would highly recommend it if it has missed anyone's radar 😊

Musicals: Yes, I enjoy them! They offer a blend of storytelling, music, and performance that’s very engaging. "The Greatest Showman" is a recent favorite.

Mean Girls 2024 has some rough parts but I liked it more than I thought I would. For me the musical parts were mostly good. A lot of the time music scenes are a way of giving the character a sincere way to express themselves. It can be great for character development and giving us variety.

Hmmm. Its feels nostalgic. I used to enjoy musicals during my high school and early undergraduate days. I am surprised I dont see them around in my country these days

That’s a type of genre that I need to pay attention to. I’ll start with Joker 2. :D

I love musicals! My first was the Sound of Music and then probably some Disney film like highschool musical. Some musical movies are hit or miss when moving from stage to screen but I still enjoy them. I’d rather watch a musical on stage than a regular play. I had friends that acted in musicals and I loved going to see them preform!
