Genre setting is locked but I would like motion forward to include the "Music" tag.

I think we should leave it as it is for now. Many mods and users disagree with using Music for musicals because Music and Musical as two distinct genres.

I'm just comparing it to other musicals who are labeled "music", such as "La La Land" and "Into the Woods". But I definitely see your point.

I removed those two that you mention. Still, looking at the music genre, lots of entries remain of course. Should I give it a go to make it more in line with the rest of the site? I think it would be easier to understand if no musicals were added as Music. Keeping it 50/50 may just be confusing.
Background: since the musical genre was removed many years ago now, the musical keyword is the best option.
