4. ...I'm confused. Why isn't Moulin Rouge! a musical?

[valorously.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask the same thing. :/

[dots.livejournal.com]

It's a movie ... with musical numbers! I'm pretty sure that's all it takes to qualify.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think the OP is saying it isn't because it is a movie-style musical, not a musical from an actual stage. I sort of see her point, but I still disagree - no, it's not Broadway but it's certainly still a musical.

[dots.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can understand the point behind it, but ... it's still wrong :/

[mollypocket.livejournal.com]

A musical usually has a full original score? I'm not sure what this person is basing their definition on. >_>;;

[linen-tartaruga.livejournal.com]

Well, technically it does have an original score! All those songs were original at some point, right? >.>

[mcruthless.livejournal.com]

Beats me, cause I can think of three musicals that don't have "full original scores" off the top of my head. (Mamma Mia!, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Jersey Boys, etc.)

[mollypocket.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing! Are we to say that those aren't musicals? O_o

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

Also All Shook Up, that one with Queen music, and I don't know how many people count the recent movie Across the Universe as a musical, but I do...

[mcruthless.livejournal.com]

Well, now people are saying it's not a musical because it was never performed on stage which would mean by there standards Across the Universe isn't a musical either.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of musicals regardless if they're on a stage or in front of a camera.

[batmarg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seems like a musical to me.

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

Musicals have music written *for* them.

:looks at Five Guys Named Moe, Mamma Mia, etc., and shuts the fuck up:

[aishiteru.livejournal.com]

The only halfway decent explanation I can think of is that Moulin Rouge was never staged or even produced for the stage; it was just a movie.

.. but that's still not a very good justification, if you ask me. >>;

even though that wouldn't really work considering Hairspray was ORIGINALLY A MOVIE but whatevs.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the original movie, though? It wasn't adapted for the stage; it was completely redone. See also: most Disney musicals.

[mellow-dk.livejournal.com]

Would the OP say that Singin' in the Rain isn't a musical too? Since it was originally a movie and none of the songs were written for the movie.

[(Anonymous)]

By my definition too. Dignity, always diginty.

[penguinfaery.livejournal.com]

7 brides for 7 brothers is the same.

[aetheristic.livejournal.com]

100% agreed. Of course it's a musical.
