Newsies

Rent

The Wizard Of Oz

Just like Newsies, The Wizard of Oz was a film first and then a theatre play. This film never gets old and continues to be one of the favourites along with topping the list of ‘best classics of all time’. The film also won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

The Sound Of Music

The Sound Of Music is one of those films that can never grow old. The movie is able to connect with the audience and invoke feelings of love while watching it. The movie is free-spirited, and it fills you up with positivity.

Moulin Rouge

Starring – Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, John Leguizamo and Jim Broadbent

Moulin Rouge is a fun, lively film set in Paris. It is about a man who comes to the city to become a writer and falls in love with a singer who works at Moulin Rouge. The romantic musical is a film that should be missed by no one.

These are some of the best musicals of all time and irrespective of the year of release; they continue to charm the audiences. And truth be told, musicals never go old. Every watch is as delightful as the first one.
