The 21st-Century Musical
Manage episode 170193543 series 1301165
Matthew Sweet looks at the 21st-century film musical in the week of the launch of Damien Chazelle's "La La Land" with music by Justin Hurwitz - who had a huge success with "Whiplash" a couple of years ago.
From the 1970s and 1980s, the film musical declined in popularity, but re-appeared with renewed vigour - darker, and with an edge - at the start of the new century, in films such as "Chicago" and "Moulin Rouge". The programme features music from "Chicago", "Les Miserables", "Moulin Rouge", "Mamma Mia", "Dancer In The Dark"; "London Road"; "Into The Woods", "Frozen" and "Nine" - and also features some of Justin Hurwitz's music for "La La Land".
