My Top 10 All Time Favorite Musicals

An original story with great music from the 80s perfectly well adapted to this film.

The plot is quite simple,a forbidden love story very much in the style of Romeo and Juliet. but the chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor make it very special along with spectacular musical numbers.

An original story with whole new original songs and big musical numbers done to perfection.

The weakness of this film its the story, it’s not bad but it’s not so great either. This is one of those films of style over substance but with a spectacle as big as this one it doesn’t matter.

The costumes are beautiful, the soundtrack is incredible and the choreography is pretty good as well.

Another thing in its favor is the cast: everyone did a great job with the singing and dancing.

So really with so many great stuff this film has. You can overlook a not so amazing story and not much character development.

Another very glossy musical with amazing singing and dancing.

This is the only broadway adaptation that we can understand why it was adapted to the big and why it’s so beloved on the stage.

With so many broadway adaptations you feel like so much fuzz over let’s phantom of the Opera for this ?

But with Chicago you don’t feel that way. The whole film is a big show to enjoy from start to finish.

The downside is the very cynical story. When it comes to musicals I think a positive message is more fitting.

The most beautiful animated film ever made with great music and wonderful story about inner beauty and true love.

The animation feels so real that sometimes you forget you are watching an animated film.

The classic musical by excellence with great songs, nice musical numbers and a happy ending.

It doesn’t matter from which generation are you, it’s impossible to not love Grease

Great music and a very nice story. The only problem for being a musical it only had 7 songs. It’s a very short soundtrack compared to what we had with beauty and the beast.

Ok, the singing is not so great but not so horrible either.

What gets this film on my top 10 are great songs from ABBA very well put into the story and the feelgood vibe you get from a family musical.

Ok this Is here just because of the very fun musical numbers.

Because the whole thing feels generic and looks a bitt cheap. It doesn’t look as professional as something like: Moulin Rouge, Chicago, the original beauty and the beast or the recent The greatest showman.

Still a very entretaining chick flick to watch at home with you girls and enjoy the catchy tunes.

A very descent remake of the 1991 animated film. This film appeals mostly to the nostalgia for the fans of the original and it doesn’t dissapoint much.

Except for the dance scene.

Ok there are 2 type of Musicals

some very ambitious and expensive musicals done to dazzle audiences and make us feel like we are watching a big broadway show in our screens.

And there are others made just for fun and not take them very seriously.

Rock of Ages falls into the second category and it delivers what it promises no more no less.

The music is good and The story is simple. So at the end it’s a film to just relax and enjoy without big expectations.
