Our top musicals – SFF’s summer watchlist

2024 was the year of the major movie musical. MEAN GIRLS, MUFASA and MOANA 2 made waves; WICKED made millions; and JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX made the internet very mad.

As we bid farewell to the year and enjoy precious public holiday laziness, we’ve rounded up the team for an SFF annual holiday tradition: staff recommendations! This time, in honour of the show-stopping year that was, our favourite movie musicals.
