The end of musicals

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2001)

This movie blows the old paradigms away. Boy meet girl/boy loses girl/ yadda yadda. Now do it as Salvadore Dali would have. After this, who but a preteen could sit though Grease or even Singing in the Rain. It destroys the old concept of a musical, but it may also set the bar so high that no one will ever make a serious musical again.
It happened in art (painting), where all that is left is retreads and attempts to shock. This may be the last musical worth seeing for quite some time.
