the ronnie republic: Attention TCM Fans: The Decline of Musicals in American Cinema--What Happened
I don't know the logistics of when, but it all comes down to the mighty dollar and what people want to see. When the majority of people aren't looking for musicals, the production companies will quit making them. If there is a resurgence for musicals, they will come back into vogue. – Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Dec 12 '13 at 2:38 @Paulster2: Even if that were true, it doesn't really explain the essence of why people stopped wanting to watch; when there is a clear trend of commercial viability in the past. – Paul Dec 12 '13 at 3:55

1 @SystemDown thankyou, that's cool to read. I think the reason I was able to give an interesting answer is because it was an interesting question, and sometimes we're way to quick to close down questions like this without giving them time to blossom into discussion. I hope other people have different contributions/research to add, but sometimes we close in on questions before they have a chance... I'll step down off my soapbox, now. – John Smith Optional Dec 12 '13 at 17:40
