Universal’s Mama Mia! jived its way to $144 million at the domestic box office, bringing in $609 million worldwide. The 2008 jukebox musical featured songs created by Swedish pop group ABBA and was named after their 1975 chart-topper of the same name.

Though critic reviews were mixed, the romantic musical gained a considerable following. This resulted in a sequel, which premiered ten years after the original.

Les Misérables (2012)

Based on the classic French novel of the same name, Les Misérables tells the story of a man who must care for a child after having been a prisoner for 19 years. This is all set against the backdrop of 19th century France, with the film concluding with the June Rebellion.

The $61 million dollar budget was transformed into a $148 million box office score and $441 million worldwide.

Though the new film could in no way replace the original, the magic and special effects were applauded by critics and audiences alike.

The Greatest Showman

P. T. Barnum’s circus was transformed into a musical during the 2017 holiday season. Starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya, the film was applauded for its strong performances and memorable songs, including the original number “This Is Me,” which has been cemented as a modern classic.

Though the film strayed greatly from actual history, it was filled with dazzling colors, special effects, and romance. It paraded its way to $174 million at the domestic box office and $434 million worldwide.

Grease

Grease is the word! This ‘70s classic follows a group of teens in the ’50s after bad boy Danny and good girl Sandy’s summer romance fades into the realities of high school. Starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, the film created musical theater hits including “Summer Nights” and “You’re The One That I Want.” It remained the best-performing movie musical for many years until Disney’s live-action remakes bumped it from its No. 1 spot.

The film danced its way to $189 million domestically and $396 million worldwide.

The 2019 fantasy musical follows the classic story of a street urchin in Agrabah who falls in love with a princess and attempts to win her affections with a little help from a magic lamp. The film does, however, add additional depth to its characters, with Jasmine, in particular, gaining a whole new story arc of her own.

Though the film received mixed reviews, many still found it to be enchantingly entertaining.

The Lion King (2019)

Topping off the list (for now at least) is Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.
