  • Summary

  • The movie musical died a long, slow death a long time ago. Right?

    Well, except that there’s Wicked. And Spielberg’s West Side Story. And Hamilton and In the Heights and Tick, Tick… Boom! And Encanto and Moana 2 and Mufasa. Oh, and Elvis and A Complete Unknown.

    And those are just from the last five years. And I could keep going.

    This hour, a long look at the long-dead movie musical. Long live the movie musical.

    GUESTS:
