If you’re in the mood for something that’s more than “a movie with songs,” Netflix’s musical lineup is a mix of Broadway-to-screen adaptations, original movie musicals, and animated crowd-pleasers with genuinely strong soundtracks.
To keep this list useful (and not just a random genre dump), I leaned on Netflix’s own “Music & Musicals” hub and Tudum’s editorial picks, then rounded it out with a few widely watched, solid-on-rewatch options that are currently listed on Netflix.
Availability can still vary by country, so treat this as a “check your region” guide, not a guarantee for every market.
The 10 best musicals streaming on Netflix right now
Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical (2022)
A sharp, high-energy adaptation that keeps the bite of the story while going big on choreography and spectacle—anchored by a standout cast and instantly rewatchable numbers.
tick, tick…BOOM! (2021)
A contemporary musical drama (based on Jonathan Larson’s work) that plays like a creative-pressure time capsule—emotional, performance-driven, and built around a very “theater kid” heartbeat.
The Prom (2020)
A glossy, Broadway-style musical comedy with a clear emotional through-line: a teen just wants to go to prom with her girlfriend, and a group of fame-hungry Broadway pros descends on her town to “help.”
The Musical (2022)
A lighter, younger-skewing musical about a kid trying to reset his life after a move—sweet, fast, and easy to finish in one sitting.
Diana: The Musical (2021)
A filmed stage musical centered on Princess Diana’s life, designed for viewers who want the “Broadway capture” experience at home more than a traditional movie musical.
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
A holiday musical with big production design and family-friendly spectacle—great if you want something upbeat and visually maximalist.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
A comedy built around pop performance and competition chaos, with enough musical set pieces to scratch the “music movie” itch even if you’re not a hardcore Eurovision person.
Vivo (2021)
An animated, music-forward adventure with Lin-Manuel Miranda involvement and a simple emotional hook—perfect for family viewing or a low-effort watch.
Over the Moon (2020)
Another animated musical option, but more lyrical and bittersweet—mixing grief, wonder, and pop-fantasy visuals with a kid-friendly arc.
Dreamgirls (2006)
A classic modern screen musical: powerhouse performances, big emotional swings, and the kind of songs that stay stuck in your head after the credits.
