After eighty-four Academy Award ceremonies and hundreds of films nominated for Best Motion Picture, only ten of those winning films have been musicals. The American Film Institute defines a “musical” as "a feature-length film in which music and lyrics significantly advance the plot, develop character, or are otherwise integral to the film narrative."

Join host Robert Hammond as he showcases musicals that have won the coveted Best Motion Picture Oscar. 

After you've listened to Stage Notes, make sure to celebrate The Oscars at the Little Theatre.

Nominations for The Oscars are out! The nine films nominated for Best Picture will have all screened at the Little Theatre by Oscar time. If you have the Oscar bug then you'll want to join us Sunday, February 24 for The Little RochOscar Party. Our doors open at 6:30 p.m., entertainment begins at 7:30 p.m., and The Oscar viewing on the big screen starts at 8 p.m. Enjoy complimentary hand-passed hors d'oeuvres and dessert, as well as a champagne toast at the end of the evening.
