3 Musicals You and Your Family Should Watch
Music can connect people from all walks of life. It’s something we can relate to and gives us all a sense of belonging. Since June 21 is World Music Day, now is the best time to celebrate music by watching musicals! You and your family can sing along all night long to these fan favorites. Here are some musicals to get you started. ‘The Sound of Music’ (1965) This is based on a true story about the Von Trapp Family singers, a famous group in 1932. Set in Austria in the 1930s, it follows a widowed Navy captain, Georg Von Trapp, who writes to the convent and requests a governess to look after his seven children. A young postulant, Maria, is sent, and during her time there, she opens the family to a newfound love for music. Maria and Georg also find themselves falling in love, but personal decisions and world events may come between them. ‘Grease’ (1978) This classic story takes place in the 1950s and follows Sandy Olsson during her senior year at Rydell High. She meets greaser Danny Zuko over the summer, and he happens to be another
Rydell student. Sandy is a good schoolgirl, while Danny is one of the “bad boys.” Typically, these two groups aren’t supposed to hang out, but their love leaves them inseparable. This musical shows the different social pressures within these high school cliques and how they cope with their stress and feelings — through songs! (Parental guidance recommended for children under 15 due to mature themes.) ‘High School Musical’ (2006–2008) Who said you couldn’t be a jock who also loves to perform in musicals? This Disney Channel trilogy follows star basketball player Troy Bolton as he tries to balance his love for basketball and his newfound love for the theater. The movies also have other notable characters going through their own struggles: social pressure to fit in with their usual cliques, and stress about where to go to college and what they will do with the rest of their lives. Everyone in your family can enjoy and relate to these films. You and your loved ones are going to have a blast singing along to these classics for World Music Day.
