Captain America may go on plenty of daring adventures, the sorts of fantastical forays that involve amazing futuristic technology, but fans know that Cap is still pretty homespun at heart, a superhero shaped by his early 20th-century boyhood and the pop culture he enjoyed as a kid.
And when Cap, er, Steve Rogers was but a whippersnapper, musicals were popular, with "Broadway Melody," "The Love Parade," and other feel-good sensations dominating the stages and screens of the 1920s and '30s.
So it makes superheroic sense that the Marvel-ous icon would get his own musical, a plucky production that would celebrate Cap's can-do spirit, his unwavering bravery, and the legendary friends he true-heartedly battles alongside.
