For nearly a century, Hollywood has been captivated by the allure of Broadway
musicals. From the beginning of talkies up through today, most of the Great
White Way’s biggest hits have made the transfer to the movie theater, though
sometimes the journey has yielded damaged goods. For every triumph like _My
Fair Lady_ or _Cabaret_ there have been misbegotten flops like _Camelot_ or _A
Chorus Line_. This talk will look at the colorful history of the Broadway-to-
movie musical, and trace its development from truncated adaptations, in which
most of the songs were abandoned, to glorious reinterpretations like Milos
Forman’s Hair or Steven Spielberg’s remake of _West Side Story_ from 2021.
