Look at the musicals written by Steven Sondheim and Richard Rogers, Moulin Rouge is not a play, it is a film. The article in Wikipedia speaks to a number of musicals, and I've also linked an alphabetical list. The first American musical is considered to be "Showboat". The next major change in American musical theater came with the Rogers and Hammerstein musicals like "Oklahoma!", "Camelot", "Carousel", "The King and I", "The Sound of Music". Other major musicals during this period from 30's to 60's include Kiss Me Kate, Anything Goes, My Fair Lady, Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, West Side Story, etc. The 60's and 70's brought more avante garde stylings to theater with the dance stylings of Bob Fosse in Cabaret, Pippin, and Chicago. They also saw the rise of Stephen Sondheim's lyric wit in Company, Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, and others. The 80's and 90's saw the advent of the huge, operatic musical with the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber in Evita, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Sunset Boulevard. The 90's and beyond seem to be the Disney decade with hits like Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, and The Lion King. There are also the innovators and subversive musicals, like Rent and Avenue Q. |
