For the love of musicals

By Beth Neely March 15, 2020

We grew up watching musicals as a family. I have memories of us snuggling up on the couch and watching almost every Rodgers and Hammerstein film there was on weekends. Singing songs and being able to watch a family-friendly film together are some of my best memories. You'll be surprised how much your kids will enjoy some of these older classics. 

A huge thank you to Merrie P., a Performing Arts Teacher in Oklahoma who put together this amazing list of musicals you can stream! 

*Please remember to check ratings of the film before viewing it with your family!
