[Opening Salvo For Mad About Musicals Course]

I'm a bit surprised that of all the comments I've seen about favorite musicals, none that I've seen, including mine, mentioned "West Side Story".  It's a true classic in every sense.

I've always enjoyed James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy".  I remember how surprised I was at his singing and dancing, having only thought of him as a tough guy movie criminal.  Another movie I loved was "Damn Yankees".  It is now impossible to find.  I would love it if TCM could include this great baseball themed musical in its library.
