Thanks for the detailed reply. I hope to catch those someday.

I was shocked when I found out that actors were almost always lipsynching in movie musicals. I can't remember exactly when I first found out about this. Now it seems so obvious almost all the time, but of course we were young. And when watching movies on the televisions we had back then, I think it was probably less obvious than it is when we watch them now.

I never knew that either. I just assumed singing was recorded the same way dialogue was. Even today I'm not sure I understand exactly how it's done. With musical numbers do the actors just mime the lyrics or do they actually sing but the singing is not recorded until it's dubbed in later?
