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

My first musical movie was Big Time Rush. It was such an amazing movie.
