Turner Classic Movies pays homage to Hollywood movie musicals with Mad About Musicals!, a month of programming celebrating such classic films as Gypsy, On the Town, Show Boat, and Cabaret.
The celebration features 90 movie musicals, 45 of which have ties to a stage production.
TCM is again partnering with Ball State University and Canvas to offer a free online multimedia course tied to this programming about the history of the musical genre and its evolution with cultural and technological shifts.
