Offers a thematic exploration of the genre with a focus on how the musical changes and adapts in order to preserve its own relevance. The book traverses time and space, from the classical period of musical film production at midcentury to the present, and from Hollywood to Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia.

Putting Asian and European musicals into conversation with Hollywood classics like Singin’ in the Rain and La La Land, this study demonstrates the flexibility and durability of the genre. It explores how the movie musical mediates between nostalgia and technical innovation, while foregrounding the experiences of women, immigrants, and people of color.
