Musicians and artists often exude confidence and seemingly lead glamorous lives. This can often contrast the hardship and trauma many have faced in their personal lives. Biopics aim to create generally truthful accounts of an artist's life, though it isn't unusual for writers to overdramatize certain moments in order to create a more compelling narrative.&nbsp;There are some moments that don't need over-dramatization. Some artists really have had very dramatic, shocking, and sometimes even tragic moments shape their lives. The list below contains some of the most dramatic scenes in recent musical biopics, many of which seem made up - but definitely aren't.&nbsp;

From scary plotlines and creepy characters&nbsp;to spooky musical scores, this list features all of your favorite haunting&nbsp;Broadway-esque movie adaptations. Tim Burton, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Danny Elfman almost singlehandedly created this genre, dominating the field&nbsp;with their quintessential&nbsp;classics, such as The Phantom of the Opera, Beetlejuice, Into the Woods, Cats,&nbsp;The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride,&nbsp;and of course, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. That being said, these creative geniuses aren&#39;t the only Hollywood moguls who redefined Halloween movie musicals.

The best musical shows are a concert and a show in one, and the best musical shows of 2022 will have you singing along. From revivals of old favorites you never forgot the words to and catchy new series serving singles with their stories, the new musical TV series premiering in 2022 are music to our ears.

Sure, a lot of 2022&#39;s new musical shows are for kids - but that&#39;s fine, their songs are fun too. And when the new kids musical series are things like a reboot of Fraggle Rock and Barbie: It Takes Two, where &quot;Malibu&quot;Barbie Roberts and &quot;Brooklyn&quot; Barbie Roberts are going to a music school? That&#39;s fun for everyone. But, if you get a little tired of kiddie music, there are definitely some steamier songs on series such as the musical romantic comedy Once Upon a Time... Happily Never After or the club-heavy dance off drama from Colombia, Savage Rhythm.
