Long live the movie musical
Manage episode 477737654 series 1687082
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:
- Jeanine Basinger: Founder of the Department of Film Studies at Wesleyan University and the author of many books on film; her latest is Hollywood: The Oral History
- Steve Metcalf: Founder and director of the Garmany concert series at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School
