There surely isn’t that many people who looked at the classic American comedy Groundhog Day and thought, what would it be like if we ratchet up a notch and added a killer to the storyline, however many did then they would have been satisfied with the result in the 2017 film Happy Death Day; however, with a change of pace and style, with the addition of the knowing glance, Happy Death Day 2U became a finer place in which to make the comparison.

If you don’t understand the language then Jazz might leave you cold, the same could be said for musicals, the rituals, the spontaneity, the drama and the freedom, all are entwined in a system that may seem uncoordinated, clumsy to the naked ear, but let it flow over you, lose your inhibitions and don’t talk through it, don’t talk above it and it will grab your interest. It is in that freedom of expression that the two genres, Jazz and the American Musical come together to make something beautiful in La La Land.
