Showdown: 21st Century Musical Movies

Musicals can be easy to understand and enjoy, but so much harder to define. What makes a musical? It's not so simple. Is it musical numbers that drive the plot or spontaneous song and dance? Is it lyrics that capture an essence of the story? Regardless of how you define them, musicals are lightning rods for debate. Expect no less from this mix of modern musicals that touch on topics as diverse as the plight of a scorned East German trans rocker to an aging green felt-skinned frog trying to get the band back together. It’s anyone’s guess which of this incredible group will come out on top. Get ready for the Thunderdome!
