Musicals On The Big Screen: What Is Your Favorite? Least Favorite?

I Feel Pretty from West Side Story

  Singing in the Rain. West Side Story. Grease. These wildly popular musicals became big hits on the silver screen as well. 

Later this month, North Carolina State film professor Marsha Gordon and North Carolina Museum of Art film curator Laura Boyes will talk with host Frank Stasio about musicals in the cinema on The State of Things. 

But first, we want to hear from you. What is your favorite musical in the movies? Or least favorite? 

Send us an email (sot@wunc.org) with your name, city and favorite movie scene. Tweet us at @state_of_things or use the hashtag #sotmovie. Your suggestion may be included in the show.
