The revival of the Musical

With great, iconic musicals like Grease in the late 1970s, would it be possible to create such a hit musical now? How would modern music like house music be incorporated into such a film? What do you think a modern musical would look like?

Hamilton by Lin Manuel Miranda just won a ton of Tony awards and it features hip hop and rap. House Music might be a little different since it doesn't often feature lyrics and musical theater is dependent on words by definition - but I would like to see if someone argue the house music could become material for a musical... – Kevin 8 years ago

I think now with the remake of Rocky Horror Picture Show, as well as the huge success of Hamilton, musicals definitely have been revived and have become hits. I think now musicals speak to a specific genre or time period in order to be successful, their flavor is specific as well as culturally relevant. Even High School Musical created such unproar! I think if done correctly, marketed correctly, and the scoring was impeccable the musical would definitely be adopted by large demographics. – amirnaveh 8 years ago

Oct 10, 2016 carlospena Wonderful read. Tarantino is arguably one of the greatest directors in cinematic history. Really enjoyed the part where you defend his borrowing of cult films, of course a director will borrow something they love from someone!	The Work of Quentin Tarantino: Quality Over Quantity
Oct 10, 2016 carlospena First of all, hats off to ya for defending such a hated prequel trilogy. This has to be THE strongest argument and defense I have ever seen for anything period. It made me a believer, I was already accepting of the prequels, but after reading into your defense, I am much more compassionate towards them.	In Defense of the Star Wars Prequels
Oct 10, 2016 carlospena Enjoyed this in depth analysis of a Harry Potter villain, if you would. Draco Malfoy is a much more complex character than first perceived. Thank you for your interesting perspective of such character.	Why Draco Malfoy is one of the Most Underrated Characters in 'Harry Potter'
