Okay, fair enough....I stand corrected:

[Just about anything] + "the Musical" = It's over

I was more or less referring to recent trends....

The Producers
(2001) (originally a musical comedy film)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) (originally a stage musical)
Les Misérables (1987)
Little Shop of Horrors (1982)


What have musicals done for us lately? Not that I'm well versed in musicals; maybe I'm wrong. Is there any recent production that was well made?
