Musicals just aren't in vogue anymore. Same as westerns. They will never totally go away, but they just won't have the mainstream popularity that they once had back in their hey day. When one does come up (like Moulin Rouge) it'll create a bit of nostalga, but that's not to be confused with coming back into style (for instance, the retro music phase didn't mean disco was back in style as a viable art form). And films like Hedwig or Rocky Horror don't really count really, because they are definitely not mainstream in nature. Which is a shame, cause Hedwig kicked ass! Another great musical is Tommy by the Who (the film version). Great cheesy fun.
