What about Moulin Rouge, Chicago, and to a lesser extent Sweeney Todd? They certainly didn't revitalize the musical, but Moulin has it's following (myself included) and Chicago was a relative success, not to mention it nabbed a few Oscars. Sweeney suffered from poor song choice. I found myself wanting more. The musical isn't dead, it's just in hibernation.

What about the bizzare success of "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut?" Animated, sure...but the production values of the numbers went above & beyond any schlock that Disney has ever put out...
