This holiday season is a great time to be a fan of musical theatre, even if you don't live in the New York tri-state area. Everyone knows that there is nothing like Christmastime in The Big Apple, and that there's nothing more magical to do in NYC than to see a Broadway show. However, this year, you don't have to brave Times Square to get your share of the magic, because with the release of musical movies, television events, and TV series, it's all coming to you. And as always, BroadwayWorld has everything you need to know about these special holiday treats in our brand-new Stage to Screen Guide.

Full disclosure, I was completely ready to despise everything about the remake of ANNIE starring Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis. In fact, I had already written the lede in my head, and let me tell you, it was scathing. But, then I saw the movie, and was pleasantly surprised by how not completely horrible it was. Yes, it will probably still rank as one of the worst big screen musical adaptations of the past decade; just above the disastrous NINE; but there was plenty to appreciate for musical theatre lovers young and old.
