Music always soothes my soul, fuels my inspiration, and helps reflect how I feel when my mind is racing. So, add music, dancing, and amazing storytelling, all things I love, and you got me hooked, transported to another world!
For as long as I can recall, thanks to Disney and other animated movies, musicals have always delighted me, made me giddy and be lost in an enchanting world. I truly wish life was a musical often! The color, the randomness, but the connected nature of everyone, how emotions would be boldly expressed! What a ride life would be!
I did this list a few years ago on my author’s website. However, I wanted to update it on here. My rule was I have HAD to have seen the musical either on-stage OR a movie version. I also did not do animated films. The few Disney-based/animated story musicals on here are based on the STAGE SHOWS and I HAVE seen them on stage.
Now, let’s get our tap shoes, find your note, and express your feelings in sync! ^-^ Time for our list!
