    CultureMusicals started to develop in the early 20th century, combining features of comic opera and the British music hall tradition. The modern Broadway musical began with Showboat, and others have included Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, Hair and Sunset Boulevard. Most later became films. One of the most popular musicals written originally as a film is Singin' in the Rain. US writers of musicals have included Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and his brother Ira, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe. The best-known British composer of musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose work includes Jesus Christ Superstar and Cats.
