Are Disney Musicals like “Beauty and the Beast” ( which recently became the highest grossing stage musical of all time, as well as being a blockbuster animated film) and “Frozen” of the same musical and artistic worth as an opera of Mozart or Wagner? In 100 years from now, do you think these musicals will stand alongside of the works of Mozart, Wagner and Puccini as important masterpieces of the genre, or are they “campy” and not as important as the works of other mainstream Musical Theater composers like Leonard Bernstein or Rogers and Hammerstein? Answer that question fully. It is for an online class to be posted in the discussion board.
