Best musical Shows and Movies
Introduction
When it comes to musicals, I have to say that I'm not the biggest fan. However, there are a few musicals that stand out in my mind as the best. Here are my top.
The Sound of Music
Julie Andrews is one of the best actresses ever and this movie is just so perfect!
West Side Story
This movie still makes me cry every time I watch it (and I watch it at least once a year).
South Pacific
Another one of my favorite musicals/plays/whatever you want to call them...it's just so good!

This musical has everything you could want from your perfect musical (a great story line, amazing music and even some silly moments) and then some more!

Moana
Moana is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 52nd animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who also wrote the script with Don Hall (who also worked on The Princess and the Frog).

The film's music was composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina, Dwayne Johnson and Opetaia Foa'i with lyrics written by J.A. Bayona & E. Gerber, who had both previously worked together on "Monsters vs Aliens".
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a 1996 Disney animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on the 19th century French novel Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo and other sources.
The movie is about Quasimodo, a deformed bell ringer for the cathedral who has been ostracized by society because of his appearance. But when he meets Esmeralda, a gypsy girl who can hear beautiful music in even the most mundane objects, he begins to transform into someone more human as well as gain a better understanding of himself and others around him.
The Greatest Showman
The Greatest Showman is about P.T. Barnum, an American showman born in 1810 who started out as a small-time con artist and ended up making his fortune by creating the largest traveling circus on Earth. The film follows him from his humble beginnings to becoming one of the most famous men in America—and it's not just because he had some great ideas; he also had a gift for marketing himself as something much larger than life (and more entertaining).
The movie also tells us how he was instrumental in getting Congress to pass laws protecting American performers from exploitation by European circuses when they came over here with their shows during this era before unions were formed so that everyone could make money without having these issues arise again later down the line when someone else took over ownership rights from someone else who decided not wanting anymore part ownership anymore than needed."
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Beauty and the Beast is a 2017 American romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon from a screenplay written by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos, and also produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. It is based on the 1991 animated film of the same name. The film stars Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston and Ian McKellen as Cogsworth.

The second movie picks up where the first left off—with Elsa's powers now growing stronger as she tries to control them, but she still can't fully control her powers. After accidentally hurting her sister Anna in an attempt to stop them from leaving Arendelle forever, Elsa flees into the mountains with Kristoff while trying to figure out what exactly happened during their journey across Arendelle.

Eventually both sisters set off on another adventure together against whatever threat may come next!

Music
Music is a form of art, expression, entertainment and communication. It can also be used for relaxation and education. Music has been around since the beginning of time and it's always changing with technology. There are so many different types of music that you could listen to depending on your mood or the type of event you're attending (weddings usually involve classical music).
