There are many different genres of musical theatre, but one that might make for some of the most interesting combinations is science fiction. Whether it's the high-flying stunts of Spider-Man: Turn of the Dark or the man-eating plants of Little Shop of Horrors, these shows all brought sci-fi to the stage in musical form.
