People who say that they don’t like musicals are wrong. Chances are they just haven’t seen the right musical yet, the one that will win their heart and convert them forever to the all-singing all-dancing 24-hour party going on in the heads of musical fans everywhere. Fortunately, musicals are created from every kind of story one can conceive and that includes many science fiction, fantasy, and horror classics. So for the sake of your poor deprived friends and family, let’s have a look at some musicals that might lead to their conversion (and some that definitely won’t).
So lets start with the SF musicals! For the sake of clarity: musicals are on stages, on film, and in specific episodes of television. (But I will always default to the official stage version of a story.) I’m not going to confine them to theater alone because… well, that would be less fun. Here we go!
