"But is it a musical? This question is regularly asked of films, television shows
and other media objects that sit uncomfortably in the category despite evident musical
connections. Musicals at the Margins argues that instead of seeking to resolve such
questions, we should leave them unanswered and unsettled, proposing that there is
value in examining the unstable edges of genre. This collection explores the marginal
musical in a diverse range of historical and global contexts. It encompasses a range
of different forms of marginality including boundary texts (films/media that are sort
of/not quite musicals), musical sequences (marginalized sequences in musicals; musical
sequences in non-musicals), music films, musicals of the margins (musicals produced
from social, cultural, geographical, and geopolitical margins), and musicals across
media (television and new media). Ultimately these essays argue that marginal genre
texts tell us a great deal about the musical specifically and genre more broadly"
