The Movie Musical:

Relative of the Stage Musical

A relative of the stage musical is the movie musical.  A musical on Broadway might be made into a movie musical.  While it is the same musical, it is a different experience. The movie performer does get immediate feedback from the audience when they perform. The performer will get audience feedback if they also attend the movie, but the connection between performance connection is one-way.

Stage and movie musicals differ in a variety of ways. In the movies, the performance can be made many times, but only needs to be right once; on the stage, the performer gets one opportunity with each audience and the it needs to be performed correctly every time. In the movies, the singing is normally recorded separately and then lip synched on screen; the stage performer is singing, dancing, all at once.

Below is a little of great movie musicals. Some musicals, such as Show Boat, have been done more than once. Rather than pit the same music against itself, each show is listed only once.

 

1776

The Broadway musical brought to film about the John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and the struggles of the Continental Congress to pass the Declaration of Independence.  The film stars William Daniels, Howard Da Silva, Ken Howard, David Ford, Roy Poole, and Andy Albin .
