Musicals are some of the most celebrated and popular films of all time and have been around since the emergence of sound films in the late 1920s! Classic films such as Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, Cabaret and West Side Story have delighted audiences for generations, with their glorious song-and-dance routines, delightful characters and timeless stories. The success of The Greatest Showman and La La Land proves the musical is as popular as ever.
