Musicals in Media

Film, literature, and television have often used either real or fictional musicals within their stories as a way to convey certain ideas about performance or the attitudes of an era. Real-life musicals can be historical touchstones; fictional musicals or musicals within other media can draw our attention to that media's "rules" of storytelling.SONGS FEATURED:"On the Side of the Angels" from Fiorello!"A Little Girl From Little Rock" from Lorelai"It's a Hit!" from Merrily We Roll Along"I'm Alive" from Tootsie"Girl Hunt Ballet" from The Band Wagon"Overture Medley" from Kiss Me Kate (film)"Babes in Arms" from Babes in Arms "I Do Not Like This Man" from Curb Your Enthusiasm"The Monorail Song" from The Simpsons"The Rant Song" from Scrubs"I've Heard It Both Ways" from Psych"Two Ladies" from Cabaret (as performed on Fosse/Verdon)"Why" from Tick, Tick...
